Abstract
In a continuous optical discharge, plasma of a maximal temperature of approximately 20000 K, and atmospheric and higher pressure, is maintained by continuous CO2-laser radiation. We obtain optical plasmatron by driving cold gas through a discharge region where cold gas turns into a high-temperature plasma jet (Fig. 1).1
