Abstract
The results of an experimental study of ultraviolet photoionization produced by a corona discharge in CO2 laser gases are reported. The influence of corona discharge physical and electrical parameters on the produced photoelectron density is investigated so that an optimized design of these types of photoionization sources can be achieved.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
