Abstract

A plasma electrode potentially suitable for dc discharge pumped lasers has been developed based on the repetitive creation of a spark channel. The high-density plasma within the arc serves as a source of charge carriers for the dc discharge, thereby largely eliminating the cathode fall. Reduction in the cathode fall potential improves with increasing spark repetition frequency until about 9 kHz, after which a constant, near-zero value is achieved.
