Abstract
Methods, devices, and apparatus for generating plasma or laser pulses by radio frequency (RF) excitation pulses are provided. In one aspect, a method includes specifying radio frequency (RF) excitation pulses at least partially as a function of a preceding RF excitation of a medium and outputting a signal to a RF pulse generator, the signal configured to cause the RF pulse generator to generate the specified RF excitation pulses for exciting the medium to generate plasma or laser pulses. The RF excitation pulses is specified to become more strongly reduced in energy when a remaining excitation of the medium by the preceding RF excitation is higher.
