Description
Summary:A two-stage spark gap is used to implement a two-stage Blumlein circuit for the efficient operation of a transversely excited atmospheric nitrogen laser. This enables a more compact circuit arrangement which employs an array of doorknob capacitors as the dummy capacitors instead of large parallel-plate capacitors but maintains a comparable laser output performance.
