Abstract
We have studied the width and the amplitude of the transmitted radio f requency (RF) pulse, as a function of the afterglow time for argon and nitrogen plasmas. In our study, the neutral gas pressure for the case of argon was 2 torr and that for nitrogen was 0.5 torr. The RF energy of the transmitted pulse was found to reach half of its maximum value for afterglow times of about 0.1 s for argon and about 375 mus for ni trogen.
