Abstract

The current disclosure relates to a suppressor circuit configuration for extending the stable region of operation of a DC driven micro plasma discharge at atmospheric and higher pressures. The current disclosure also provides various systems for suppressing a self-pulsing regime of a direct current driven micro plasma discharge comprising, at least, a power supply, a ballast resistor, a plasma discharge, and an inductor.
