What is it about?
In this work, we explore the possibility of using a resonant ionization technique to more efficiently generate a dual-pulse plasma. Once developed, we investigate resulting air plasma properties and combustion characteristics, and assert the differences between the resonant dual-pulse plasma formed here and other non-resonant dual-pulse plasmas formed in other works.

Why is it important?
The majority of existing laser ignition research delves into single source non-resonant ionization. Though a highly robust and applicable method, it is a much more of a brute force technique. Two less explored areas of laser plasma formation are multi-source and resonant ionization. By combining the two, the resonantly formed dual-pulse plasma becomes much more tailorable through input variable adjustments such as time delay, pulse energies, and laser wavelengths.
