Abstract
Gain measurements within an axial discharge interacting with a transverse rotating magnetic field are presented. The effects of applied voltage and magnetic field strength on centerline gain are discussed. This is followed by an investigation of the radial gain profile and the saturation intensity. Observed values of the small signal gain and the saturation intensity were 0.85 m/sup -1/ and 160 W/cm/sup 2/, respectively.<>
