Abstract:

The discharge generated inside the bundle of quartz capillaries that emulated the honeycomb monolith structure was investigated. The diffuse plasma generated by the diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge was extended into the capillaries by the application of the additional DC electric field component across the capillaries. The proposed technique resulted in a homogenous plasma formation inside the capillaries. The paper presents essential electrical and optical characteristics of the discharges inside capillaries and describes basic discharge properties.
