Abstract
A detailed study showing that the electronic impedances of both the spark gap and the laser channel plasmas play an integral part in the overall discharge circuit of a pulsed nitrogen laser is presented. The electronic properties of these plasmas can critically determine the temporal width of the laser pulse
