Abstract

Modest-energy-density KrF laser radiation has been used to provide uniform preionization in a 5-atm, 2.5 × 2.5-cm² XeCl discharge. With ~1 mJ/cm² of KrF radiation and the utilization of benzene additives at the level of a few parts in 10⁶, an initial ionization density of ~10⁷ cm⁻³ is produced. The technique is scalable to large volumes and provides an effective means of controlling the preionization conditions.
