FIELD: gas-discharge engineering; spectroscopic analyses of gases and their mixtures in medical diagnostics; compact light sources manufacture. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed device has sealed gas-discharge chamber with inductor which is, essentially, single wire whose ends are connected to high-frequency oscillator; inductor is made in the form of convex polygon frame; the latter has all polygon ribs and polygon proper has maximum two apexes whereto odd number of ribs are converging; inductor surface is covered with insulating layer. Polygon may be in the form of octahedron, cubic octahedron, icosidodecahedron, rhombic-cubic octahedron, or rhombic icosidodecahedron. ^ EFFECT: provision for spherical focusing of plasma and enhanced effectiveness of using energy injected in discharge. ^ 6 cl, 6 dwg |
