- Measure Plasma Temperature
In summary, plasma temperature can be measured using various techniques such as spectroscopy, interferometry, and Thomson scattering, which rely on measuring the emission or scattering of light from the plasma. The units typically used to measure plasma temperature are electron volts (eV) or Kelvin (K), representing the energy of individual particles in the plasma. Real-time measurements are possible with techniques like laser-induced fluorescence and microwave interferometry, though accuracy and precision may vary. These methods can be applied to different types of plasma, including laboratory-created and naturally occurring plasmas. However, there are limitations to measuring plasma temperature, including sensitivity to external factors and limitations in temperature range and interpretation of the measurements.

Temperature is not easily defined for plasmas. What you need to measure depends on your application. http://www.quora.com/How-can-the-temperature-of-plasma-be-measured that gives some help.

thank you for kind , i creating the dbd plasma jet and i found the langmuir probe can use to measure. for the link that u gave me i already found , by the way very appreciate 
1. How is plasma temperature measured?
Plasma temperature can be measured using a variety of techniques such as spectroscopy, interferometry, and Thomson scattering. These methods rely on measuring the emission or scattering of light from the plasma to determine its temperature.
2. What units are used to measure plasma temperature?
Plasma temperature is typically measured in units of electron volts (eV) or Kelvin (K). These units represent the amount of energy possessed by individual particles in the plasma.
3. Can plasma temperature be measured in real-time?
Yes, there are techniques such as laser-induced fluorescence and microwave interferometry that can provide real-time measurements of plasma temperature. However, the accuracy and precision of these methods may vary.
4. Is it possible to measure the temperature of different types of plasma?
Yes, the techniques used to measure plasma temperature are applicable to various types of plasma, including laboratory-created plasmas and naturally occurring plasmas such as those found in stars and the Earth's ionosphere.
5. Are there any limitations to measuring plasma temperature?
There are certain limitations to measuring plasma temperature, such as the sensitivity of the measurement techniques to external factors like electromagnetic interference and the range of temperatures that can be accurately measured. Additionally, the interpretation of the measurements may be affected by the assumptions and models used in the analysis.
