Résumé

We have developed a new method for measuring electric field magnitude using 2+1 photon laser-induced fluorescence of ground-state hydrogen atoms. The atoms are excited to the n=2 level by two 243-nm photons, then further excited to the n=6 level by one photon at 410 nm and detected by cascaded H_α fluorescence. The electric field magnitude is deduced from the Stark splitting of the n=6 level. The method was calibrated using H atoms from a distant source flowing through a region of known electric field. Results are presented for field profiles in dc discharges in 0.3 and 1 Torr pure H₂.
