Abstract

A high power laser light tuned to the resonance line (455.5 nm) of the cesium atom induced photoionization in argon buffer gas and initiated a channel discharge of 60 cm length. The time lag from the laser injection to the channel breakdown was observed and compared with numerical result based on a simple model of the discharge channel. It was confirmed that good agreement was obtained between both time lags. A simple model well described the fundamental characteristic of the channel breakdown.
