Abstract
The dependence of the lasing condition of fast capillary discharge plasmas on the initial gas pressure and rising rate of the load current; dI/dt has been experimentally investigated. The results indicate that there is an optimum condition at suitable values of initial gas pressure and dI/dt. Based on the experimental results and a simplified scaling model for the compression process, the correlation between the plasma dynamics and the lasing condition in capillary pinch plasmas is discussed.
