dc.description.abstractResults of new optical method of generating a precursor plasma for a shell gas embedded Z-pinch are presented. Experiments were performed on a pulse power generator using a peak current up to 150 kA with a rise time of 70 ns, 120 ns pulse length. The optical precursor plasma was generated by using a Nd-Y AG laser, 200 ml, 8 ns at 1.06 μm. Two different optical schemes were used, one consists of a combination of lenses capable of producing a hollow beam; while the other uses an axicon to generate the hollow beam. In both cases the hollow beam was focused at the cathode surface where metallic ring plasma, of either 2 or 6 mm diameter, is created. The annular preionization is created immediately before or during the first 30 ns after the line voltage is applied. The discharge was carried out in a chamber filled with hydrogen gas at 1/3 atm. Flat electrodes were used with 10 mm separation. The anode has a 6 mm diameter central hole to allow the passage of the preionizing laser. Optical diagnostics (schlieren, shadowgraphy and interferometry) were performed using the second harmonics of the same laser used to preionize. Preionizing using an axicon results in better formed hollow discharges.
