Laser-induced gas breakdown and its application to switching

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The effect of laser-produced plasma from a biased metal target in a background gas (argon) is studied. We report that switching of an argon gas discharge is controlled by metal plasma or by polarity of the target.
