Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable reserve ionization electrodes to be made close to the discharge excitation part by providing an insulation wall which is connected to the insulation electrode substrate and prevents discharge between the first main electrode and the first reserve ionization electrodes. CONSTITUTION:Connected to the insulation electrode substrate 2, an insulation wall 25 is provided between the first main electrode 1 and the first reverse ionization electrodes 5a. When a reserve ionization gap 10 is close to the discharge excitation part 8, discharge will occur between the first main electrode 1 and the first reserve ionization electrodes 5a via surface of the substrate 2 or via laser gas; however, the electrode insulation wall 25 can prevent this discharge. Therefore, it is possible to make the reserve ionization electrodes 5a and 5b close to the discharge excitation part 8, and the floating inductance of the main discharge circuit can be reduced. At the same time, the position of the reserve ionization gap 10 can be optimized.
