Abstract

A pulsed plasma analyzer includes a pulse modulator that controls an off-time of a pulsed plasma that includes a target radical, an optical spectrometer that measures optical emissions of the pulsed plasma after the off-time to determine optical emission data, and a concentration estimating module that estimates a concentration of the target radical during the off-time based on an initial optical emission value of the optical emission data that changes as a function of the off-time, and outputs an estimated concentration.
