  • Abstract
    A mechanism of laser triggering of spark gaps in which laser-produced ions play the dominant role is investigated for several electrode materials. Spark channels due mainly to laser-produced electrons and channels due mainly to laser-produced ions are clearly distinguished by high-speed shadowgraph techniques.
