Abstract

The combined effect of a microwave electric field and focused laser radiation on dielectrics is investigated with respect to developing a method for electric-discharge treatment. This idea is based on the fact that the absorption of microwave radiation by dielectrics increases when they are previously heated using an additional heat source. Due to this phenomenon, the destruction zone on the dielectric surface can be more narrow than the preheated area.
