Device for producing an electric discharge in a flat-plate transmission line

摘要

A device for producing an electric discharge in a flat-plate transmission line. The device includes at least a first electrode (8), a second electrode (9) opposite the first electrode and passing through a hole (5) in the transmission line (1). With this arrangement it is possible to avoid deposits of metal particles building up on the edges of the hole and eventually shorting together opposite sides of the transmission line. Such flat-plate transmission lines are used in particular in nitrogen laser generators.
