Abstract
The effect of electrode processes on the spatial uniformity of a self-sustained XeCl laser discharge has been experimentally studied. It has been shown that the longitudinal discharge structure, much as the classical one, is formed towards the end of the pre-breakdown stage. The primary disturbances of the uniform discharge structure have been observed during the formation stage at a current density of about 1-10 A cm-2. It was supposed that non-local effects play a part in discharge filamentation. The effect of the rate of increase of current on the development of the discharge instabilities has been revealed.
