A Four-channel TEA N2 laser controlled by a multistage spark gap

A four-channel nanosecond transversely excited atmospheric (TEA) N2 laser controlled by a simple and cost effective multistage spark gap which offers a high flexibility in varying the time sequence of the laser pulses from over 100 ns to as low as 5 ns is described. The delays between these laser pu...
