Description
Spot size and pulse length dependences of CO2 laser-induced breakdown in the cryogenic liquids N2, O2, CO, and Ar are reported. Parameters which affect the dielectric strengths are identified and the results are compared with previous dc measurements. Diagnostic measurements of photoconductivity, fluorescence and laser-induced pressure (acoustic), and density fluctuations to characterize the breakdown processes are reported
