Abstract
Pulsed high‐pressure photostabilized glow discharges can be used to pump ultraviolet lasers on nanosecond time scales. This capability is demonstrated by efficient glow excitation of ultraviolet lasing action in molecular nitrogen. The glow can be generated by simultaneously initiating many electron avalanches over the cathode surface. This glow mode of operation was achieved using a transverse double‐discharge excitation principle.Keywords
