Popis:	A plasma injector with pulsed gas filling is investigated experimentally. Interferometric measurements of the formation dynamics of the plasma channel are carried out. Under optimal operating conditions, the injector is capable of producing a plasma channel 4 cm in diameter with an electron density of ∼1017 cm−3. The effect of the cathode diameter of the plasma opening switch on the conductivity of the plasma channel is studied. It is shown that the current flowing through the plasma channel of a single injector attains 400 kA.
