Stereoscopic imaging of dusty plasmas under microgravity conditions Komplexes Plasma Hochfrequenzplasma Stereoskopie Rekonstruktion Schwerelosigkeit opy complex plasma reconstruction In this thesis a stereoscopic camera system is presented that is designed for the use on parabolic flights for the investigation of dusty plasmas under microgravity conditions. This camera system consists of three synchronously triggered high speed cameras observing a common volume of approximately (15 × 15 × 15) mmđ size. In this volume the three dimensional trajectories of a large number of particles surrounded by a dense dust cloud were reconstructed. For this task an intricate set of reconstruction algorithms has been developed including a four frame linking algorithm and a complex combined 2D 3D tracking algorithm for a reliable tracking of 3D particles. Furthermore these algorithms effectively suppress so called ghost particles in the evaluation process which are reconstructed from falsely identified 2D particle correspondences. Dusty plasmas under microgravity conditions are of special interest due to their complex structure and the variety of observable dynamic phenomena. Under typical discharge conditions a central dust free void is formed surrounded by a dense particle cloud. Since the void is inherently dust free particles shot into the void can be uniquely identified and used to probe plasma properties inside this region. In the dust cloud itself processes like self excited dust density waves can be observed under suitable experimental conditions. Using the presented camera setup and reconstruction algorithms ...
