Concepts for optical control of diffuse discharge opening switches
Journal Article

· IEEE Trans. Plasma Sci.; (United States)
Optical control of diffuse discharges is discussed as opening mechanism for rep-rated switches. Diffuse discharges can be sustained or terminated by making use of optogalvanic effects, that means resonant interaction of laser radiation with diffuse plasma. Independent of control mechanisms, the performance of diffuse discharge opening switches is strongly affected by such fill gas properties as attachment and electron mobility.
