Abstract
A simple trigatron spark-gap chamber is modified to accommodate two cascading high-voltage breakdowns, separated by the time lag of the second spark formation. The time lag is employed as a temporal delay for synchronizing the ultraviolet preionization and the main discharge in the transversely excited atmospheric CO2 laser. Owing to prompt triggering and in situ preionization of the second breakdown, reliable delay up to 500 ns is possible by simply varying the separation of the second spark-gap electrode to that of the first spark gap.
