Investigation of Surface-Stabilized High-Pressure Gas Discharges.

Abstract

The research program described herein is an experimental investigation of problems associated with the production of stable, long-duration discharges in rare gas halogen mixtures. The work is oriented toward homogeneous, high-level excitation of small gas volumes (about 1 cu cm) with the ultimate goal being construction of a discharge-pumped rare gas halide laser which is capable of an output pulse duration greater than one microsecond.
