Limited optical access and high apparatus complexity are the main challenges for true three-dimensional (3-D) measurements in high-enthalpy plasma flows. However, with the advent of plenoptic cameras, the one-shot and single-camera acquisition of light-field data has become possible, enabling the 3-D analysis of complex scenes with one single optical access and one single exposure. So far, this technique has mostly been applied to problems containing opaque objects or particle-loaded flows. In this paper, approaches to explore the potential of light-field analysis for the 3-D investigation of brightly luminous, high-velocity plasma flows are presented. Using gas flames from a solder torch, the feasibility of plenoptic imaging of optically thin scenes is shown. The complete structure of the flame is derived from a single exposure. The transition of this approach to plasma-flow visualization is shown with very first acquisitions of a plasma freejet, including spectral filters for the measurement of the atomic oxygen distribution.
