Abstract :
A high-pressure high-repetition-rate pulsed-discharge technique is described. Ultraviolet preionization and voltage switching are integrated using spark-gap switches in a geometry such that they will irradiate the discharge gas. A repetition rate of 4000 pulses per second (pps) has been achieved.
