Abstract
The analysis and design of a photon-coupled isolator circuit and its application for obtaining swept Langmuir probe characteristics of a plasma are presented. Swept probe characteristics for a low pressure plasma are given and electron temperature and density are determined. The circuit is also used to measure plasma fluctuations in a double probe experiment.
