Abstract
A pulsed electric discharge between two dielectric sheets which is suitable for laser excitation is reported. CO2 laser operation at pressures extending to 650 Torr in unpreionized He/N2/CO2 mixtures is obtained in experiments demonstrating the utility of the technique. Limitations imposed by dielectric parameters are discussed.Keywords
