            Abstract : 
Stable dc electrolyte-cathode atmospheric glow discharges with a wide-gap separation were obtained using a miniature helium gas flow. A thin discharge column formed because of the gas flow exhibited intense sodium atom line emission from the cathode region for high-current operation.
