Laser-induced preionization of a rare-gas halide discharge
Abstract
The paper describes experiments in which either ArF or KrF laser radiation has been used to provide uniform preionization of a 2.5 x 2.5-sq cm XeCl laser. The technique used is scalable to large volumes and provides an effective means for controlling preionization conditions.
