Binary and ternary gas mixtures with temperature enhanced diffuse glow discharge characteristics for use in closing switches

Patent Christophorou, Loucas G [Oak Ridge, TN]; Hunter, Scott R [Oak Ridge, TN]

An improvement to the gas mixture used in diffuse glow discharge closing switches is disclosed which includes binary and ternary gas mixtures which are formulated to exhibit decreasing electron attachment with increasing temperature. This increases the efficiency of the conductance of the glow discharge and further inhibits the formation of an arc.

Electron beam switched discharge for rapidly pulsed lasers

Patent Pleasance, Lyn D [Livermore, CA]; Murray, John R [Danville, CA]; Goldhar, Julius [Walnut Creek, CA]; ...

Method and apparatus for electrical excitation of a laser gas by application of a pulsed voltage across the gas, followed by passage of a pulsed, high energy electron beam through the gas to initiate a discharge suitable for laser excitation. This method improves upon current power conditioning techniques and is especially useful for driving rare gas halide lasers at high repetition rates.
