H{sup {minus}}/D{sup {minus}} production in a pure volume source has been studied. In our double plasma type negative ion source, both energy and density of fast electrons are well controlled. With the use of this source, the enhancement of H{sup {minus}}/D{sup {minus}} production has been observed. Namely, under the same discharge power, the extracted H{sup {minus}}/D{sup {minus}} current in the double plasma operation is higher than that in the single plasma operation. At the same time, measurements of plasma parameters have been made in the source and the extractor regions for these two cases. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
