ELECTRODE DEVICE WITH PRELIMINARY IONIZATION BY ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT PRODUCED BY CORONA DISCHARGE Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: laser equipment. SUBSTANCE: device has power supply, pair of main extended electrodes, corona discharge generators, which are located in perpendicular to main electrodes. Inner conductors of corona discharge generators are designed as current leads, which connect high-voltage electrode to power supply. This results in possibility to design low-inductance main discharge circuit of electrode device, to increase laser efficiency and to provide simple, reliable and inexpensive insulator of sealed current terminal to one of high-voltage electrodes. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 9 cl, 1 dwg
