Although interpretation of ongoing research is generally based on this mechanism, direct measurement of the power partitioning to support the assumed preferential vibrational excitation in CO2 microwave plasma is currently lacking. Here, such measurements are performed on a 100 µs pulsed microwave CO2 discharge.
