  • Patent number: 6657719
    Abstract: A device for analyzing plasma enclosed in a chamber. The device has a lens array which has a plurality of lens array lenses. The lens array lenses are located in a position so that the line of sight for each lens array lens intersects one another at a single point in front of the lens array. Each lens array lens is also located in a position so that each lens array lens is focused near a rear wall of the chamber. Behind each lens array lens is a cable having a first end and a second end. The first end of the cable is located in a position to receive emission elements through the lens array lens. A collimating lens is located at the second end of the cable to couple the emission elements from the second end of the cable through a wavelength selective element. A recording device is located in a position to record the emission elements through the wavelength selective element.
