Abstract :
A new method of electrically exciting generation of light behind the ionization front in streamers is theoretically and experimentally considered. Light intensity of

W/cm
2was generated in Cd
xSe
1-xand ZnSe crystals from radiation regions having characteristic dimensions of

m, and moving with velocities

cm/s.
