Description

An optical pulsating discharge produced by repetitively pulses laser radiation (with a pulse repetition rate of up to 100 kHz) is studied in a cylindrical tube simulating the reflector of a laser engine. The pressure of shock waves and the propulsion produced by them are measured. The discharge produced the stationary propulsion ∼1 N kW-1. (laser applications and other topics in quantum electronics)
