Abstract :
A method for determining the time-varying resistance and inductance of a laser discharge is described. The method exploits simultaneously the voltage across the laser channel and the flowing current in the laser discharge. The results show strong variations in the resistance and inductance during the formation phase of the discharge while in the main phase these quantities fluctuate around constant values
