  • Abstract
    Electrostatic confinement has been used to increase the efficiency of light emission from a plasma discharge. Biasing the wall negatively increases efficiency by a factor 2.5 over the floating wail case. High energy electrons are confimed, thereby increasing excitation. The average electron confinement, however, is not increased.
