22. Compared to the images between 10 ns and 1 μs taken with a gate width of 3 ns, the images between 5 μs and 1.5 ms were measured with wider gate widths of up to 5 μs. The intensities of the widely distributed emissions between 5 μs and 1.5 ms were therefore rather low.

24. Although the total emission images depend not only on the propagation behaviors of ablated species, formed clusters, etc. in the Ar atmosphere but also on their formation and excitation processes, we think that their propagation velocities can be roughly estimated from the front-edge position of the image.
