The laser produced carbon plasma expanding in a nonuniform magnetic field in vacuum (P<10−3 Torr) has been studied by emission spectroscopy and fast photography using intensified charged coupled device. The laser ablated plume is observed to break into two lobes along the vertical direction. The temporal profiles of C I transition at 399.7 nm, C II transition at 426.7 nm, C III transition at 465.0 nm, and C IV transition at 580.1 nm show three peaks (fast, intermediate, and slow) for each of these two lobes. The temporal profile of the species at the outermost boundary of the plume shows oscillations.
