A spark channel plasma electrode for a CO2 laser gas discharge

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 is a source of charge carriers for the dc discharge, thereby largely eliminating the cathode and anode falls. Potential reduction improves with increasing spark repetition frequency until about 9 kHz, at which point the falls are virtually eliminated. Fortuitously, the most beneficial regime of plasma electrode operation also appears to coincide with the optimum E/N range for CO₂ laser vibrational excitation.     

Two types of current oscillations in a low-current spark discharge initiated in a nonuniform electric field

Experimental data for a spark discharge in the tip-plane electrode configuration in argon are considered for the case when the discharge current is limited by a high-resistivity ballast resistor. It is shown that the current passing in the thin plasma channel of a low-current spark represents a steady sequence of regular pulses. It is found that low-frequency current pulses of the low-current spark are accompanied with high-frequency current oscillations of nanosecond duration.

Study on a New Ignition Method of the Spark Gap Based on Plasma Ejection in Air

A new ignition method of the spark gap based on plasma ejection is proposed in this paper, as the conventional trigatron spark gap performs poorly under the low working coefficient (the ratio of the charging voltage to the self‐breakdown voltage) in air. The plasma is generated by the capillary discharge, which has high pressure, high temperature and high velocity. The capillary discharge device is placed inside the low voltage electrode. As long as the triggering signal is sent to the device, a column of the plasma flow is ejected in axial direction and develops rapidly towards the high voltage electrode. Subsequently, the gap is broken down and a high resistive channel is formed, where the thermal ionization takes place and the arc across the whole gap is generated and develops into a well conductive channel. The process of the thermal ionization of the high resistive channel varies with the change of the spark gap distance. The breakdown delay and the delay jitter of the spark gap increase with the spark gap distance, as both parameters are mainly determined by the developing process of the plasma ejection. The characteristics of the plasma flow determine the possibility of the breakdown of the spark gap under the low working coefficient. The ignition method based on capillary plasma ejection has been proved by the preliminary experiments, which indicate that under the gap length of 8 cm and the working coefficient of less than 3%, the effective ignition is still achievable.

Characterization of sliding spark plasma source for direct trace spectronalysis

The sliding spark plasma – which is produced via ablation of a dielectric material enforced between a pair of electrodes by a pulsed high-voltage discharge propagating along the dielectric surface – has immense potential as a simple but novel spectroscopic source for direct in situ quantitative analysis of non-conducting samples, a ubiquitous theme in material characterization. The plasma-excited optical spectrum spans a broad spectral range Vacuum Ultra Violet-Near Infra Red (VUV-NIR) and carries the atomic and molecular signatures of the base matrix chemical composition. Since the analytical figures of merit for quantitative spectroanalysis are a function of the spark source and dielectric matrix ablation characteristics, we systematically studied the sliding spark plasma source, utilizing a charge-coupled device spectrometer with blazed holographic grating in order to find the combination of parameters that can tailor the source for trace spectroanalysis of dielectrics in air and atmospheric pressure. It was observed that in the UV–vis spectral range a unique set of sample matrix conditions, besides spark source parameters, exists for enhanced trace analyte spectral emission with low signal-to-noise ratios and where trace spectrochemical analysis of dielectrics depends multivariately on spark scan frequency, electrode geometry, plasma discharge current, spark source inductance, initial rate of applied voltage, mode of sample ablation, and specific capacitance of the dielectric surface.
