Abstract
A two electrode discharge system for use in TEA carbon dioxide lasers is described. Stabilization of the discharge against the formation of spark channels is achieved through the use of resistive composition electrodes. These provide a series ballast resistance preventing the negative dynamic resistance of the plasma from leading to spark formation. Energy depositions of up to 300 J/liter have been achieved in a lasing mixture without spark channels forming.
