Abstract

We examine the generation of plasma waveguides generated from cluster jets whose supersonic flow is intersected by a periodic array of wires. We find that the minimum modulation period is dictated by shock waves launched off the wires by residual monomer gas. This effect is reduced with increased cluster size accompanied by a reduced monomer component of the flow. By appropriately limiting shockwaves, the modulation period can be less than 100 μm.
