This study investigates the development processes and mechanisms of a helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet driven by bursts of high-voltage nanosecond pulses. It is found that the first pulse-driven discharge channel serves as an extension of the high-voltage electrode, and the second discharge starts at the end of the first channel. The guided streamer propagates stepwise under the driving of the bursts of high-voltage nanosecond pulses. Shortening the cable length increases the equivalent pulse frequency and significantly extends the plasma jet length.
This study employs the bursts of high-voltage nanosecond pulses at multi-tens MHz to drive the helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet. Such bursts are obtained by modulating a high-voltage nanosecond pulse based on the wave reflections in a coaxial cable. The development processes and mechanisms of the plasma jet are analyzed in detail based on the discharge waveforms, discharge images, gas temperature, electron density, and axial electric field. Because the time interval between adjacent pulses is much shorter than the characteristic plasma decay time, the discharge channel driven by the first pulse still has high residual electron density and conductivity when the second pulse arrives. The first discharge channel serves as an extension of the high-voltage electrode. In this case, the second discharge starts at the end of the first discharge channel and continues to propagate forward. Driven by the bursts of high-voltage nanosecond pulses, the stepwise propagation of a guided streamer along the plasma jet is observed. The characteristic of the stepwise development of the guided streamer is stable and repeatable under the same condition and does not change at different helium flow rates if the flow is laminar. Reducing the cable length results in a higher equivalent pulse frequency in the bursts and significantly increases the plasma jet length. However, an excessively high frequency will cause a rise in gas temperature and pressure fluctuation in helium flow, resulting in a reduction in the length of the laminar region and an unstable discharge.
