  • Abstract
    A simple and rugged electrode structure is described for the production of uniform pulse-excited discharges throughout large volumes at atmospheric pressure. Output energy densities of 18 mJ/cm3 have been achieved in a multimode CO2 laser. The performance is compared with that of a novel mesh-cathode electrode system.
