Abstract

The effect of the addition of C ${Cl}_{2}$ $F_{2}$ on the optical breakdown threshold of argon is described. It is found that for slowly rising laser pulses, C ${Cl}_{2}$ $F_{2}$ inhibits breakdown, while for rapidly rising pulses, it enhances breakdown. The results are discussed in relation to existing breakdown theory.
