Abstract :
Electrical breakdown in noble gas near a dielectric is an important issue in lighting industry. In order to investigate the influence of the dielectric on the ignition process, we perform measurements in argon, with pressure varying from 0.1 to 1 bar, using a pin-pin electrode geometry. Here, we present time-resolved images of ignition process for two different distances from electrodes to the dielectric.
