This paper presents measurements of temperature profiles of Mars and Titan-like plasmas created with an Inductively Coupled Plasma torch, using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Acquired interfero-grams were treated using Fast Fourier Transform and Abel inversion to obtain the radial distribution of the plasma index refraction. Temperature profiles were then obtained from the Gladstone-Dale relation, taking in account the plasma composition versus temperature.
