The behavior of the breakdown probability in distilled water was studied so far using short pulse 1.06 mum and 0.532 mum lasers. Results obtained were analyzed by a equation which was used in avalanche breakdown in gases and semiconductors under DC voltage application. This equation can not explain the electron mean free path dependence of the breakdown probability under optical field application...
The breakdown voltage in a point-plane oil gap is affected by the insertion of barriers in the gap. In an air gap, similar effect was already reported in 1930 by Marx [1] and Roser [2], and was recently studied in detail by Okumura [3] and Kouno [4].
Recently the application of high power lasers to nuclear fusion, isotope separation, etc. necessitates clarification of the mechanism of optical breakdown as a limiting factor of laser materials. Moreover, there is a hope of investigating the intrinsic breakdown free from secondary effects such as electrode, space charge voids, etc. by using lasers. The authors1–14 have investigated dielectric breakdown...
