Abstract
A new discharge stabilization technique for high-powered gas lasers is described. Profiled magnetic fields interacting with electron and ion sheaths at or near the electrode surfaces inhibit growth of electrothermal plasma instabilities and increase power loading by an order of magnitude. The technique appears to be scalable for very-large-volume devices.
