Abstract:
It is shown that a volume discharge is formed in a nonuniform electric field for the short leading edge of a voltage pulse and nanosecond pulse duration without any additional preionisation source in various gases at pressures higher than atmospheric (6 atm in helium and 3 atm in nitrogen). Lasing at atomic transitions in Xe is obtained in an Ar–Xe mixture under a pressure of 1.2 atm for an active length of 1.5 cm. A record-high specific power input (more than 0.8 GW cm-3 under a pressure 1 atm in air) is realised in the volume discharge stage. The volume discharge is formed due to preionisation of the discharge gap by fast electrons accelerated due to amplification of the electric field in the cathode region and in the gap. In a nonuniform electric field, volume discharge is realised under a quasistationary voltage from 10 to 180 kV across the gap, at a pulse repetition rate of up to 160 Hz and for various discharge gap geometries.
