With optimal inductors shunted at the end of the transverse radio-frequency (rf) discharge waveguide laser, the longitudinal voltage variation across a waveguide channel can be reduced. If multiple inductors are shunted at the appropriate positions, an almost perfect rf uniformity may be attained. All the optimum inductances are derived from the conventional transmission line theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
