Abstract

A plasma generator is disclosed. In an embodiment a plasma generator includes a piezoelectric transformer subdivided into an input region and an output region in a longitudinal direction, wherein the piezoelectric transformer comprises an output-side end face facing away from the input region, wherein the plasma generator comprises a passive load arranged permanently in front of the output-side end face, and wherein the plasma generator is configured to generate non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma.
