  • Abstract
    The transient phenomena of spark gap discharge in air triggered by a Q-switched ruby laser were studied by high-speed shadowphoto-graphs using another Q-switched ruby laser. A mechanical arrangement to provide time delays between the two laser pulses was worked out. Laser-induced sonic waves and the development of the discharge channel were clearly observed by this technique.
