Plasma of a Light Spark in a Gas Cloud. Directed Ejection of a Plasma and Acceleration of a Fireball of a Light Spark
Optical breakdown in gases has been under intense study in recent years (see, e.g., the review [1]), and has made it possible to investigate sterile pure dense plasma. However, the presence of a surrounding gas makes it impossible to obtain very large energy-release concentrations (owing to the propagation of the breakdown [1] in a direction opposite to the laser beam) or to use the light-spark plasma in plasma vacuum devices.
