The possibility of producing a supercooled plasma in a high-power pulsed microwave discharge
Abstract
Experiments are reported in which a quasi-stationary recombination plasma was obtained in a high-power (1.3 MW) pulsed microwave discharge in an inert gas (xenon) at atmospheric pressure. This indicates that a high-power pulsed microwave discharge can be used for exciting the active medium of plasma lasers. The efficiency of this excitation method is determined for an Ne-Xe-CCl4 (1000:50:1) mixture used in excimer XeCl lasers.
