Abstract

We present results of an experimental investigation of laser pulsewidth dependence of filamentation-guided high voltage breakdown in air. The experiments are conducted at laser peak power levels of 1 TW and pulse durations of 0.7 to 10 ps with a discharge gap separation of 10 cm. Synchronized electrical and optical diagnostic techniques were used to determine the pulsewidth dependence on the breakdown mechanism, threshold levels, time delays and associated jitter. The results indicate that longer pulses provide greater than 30% reduction in breakdown threshold voltage.
