Abstract

Strong ultraviolet radiation and easily ionizable impurities made it possible to achieve stable SSVD using voltage (pump) pulses of 2 μs minimum duration and specific deposited energy of at least 200 J/l in discharge gaps up to 25 cm filled with CO2–N2–He mixtures with the molecular gases representing up to 50% of the total content. The minimum voltages required from a pump source to initiate a stable discharge did not exceed 255 kV.
