Abstract :
A transient spark (TS) pulsed discharge of streamer-to-spark transition type is studied using fast iCCD camera and fast photomultiplier tube. Emission profiles and images of single TS pulse at different frequencies help to understand the influence of repetition frequency on the streamer-to-spark transition process.
