A plurality of separate discharges are established adjacent the plurality of electrodes. A fast-moving gas stream within the channel aerodynamically controls the ion spacial distribution, and therefore indirectly the electron spacial distribution within the channel. In one system the geometry of the system and velocity of the stream are made such that the transit time between the plurality of electrodes at one end of the channel, and an electrode at the other end of the channel, is of the order of the diffusion time from one current stream and the next. In another embodiment rods are positioned to rapidly diffuse the plasma with nozzles provided to further aid in the mixing. A transverse folded optical path is used for laser operation.,下面是Aerodynamic large volume gaseous electric discharge system专利的具体信息内容。
