Abstract
The paper is concerned with the plasma-filled diode performance in the intensive mode regulated by means of external gas puffing. The possibility to smoothly vary the plasma parameters in the discharge gap zone, and thus, to optimize the main diode characteristics (Ucutoff, Icutoff) by the external gas puffing method has been confirmed by experiment. The introduction of additional quantity of neutral gas into the discharge causes the change in the plasma density balance due to elementary processes in physics of electronic and atomic collisions, such as ionization, dissociation, recombination. The deviation of actual voltage/current values from their maximum values can be attributed to the mismatch in the generator-load feed circuit.
