Abstract

A system for disassociating molecules of a gas based on RF power. Characteristics of the RF power can be tuned to increase disassociation efficiency. The system can include a disassociation chamber configured to enclose a volume of a gas and a radio frequency (RF) power source configured to provide RF power to the disassociation chamber. The RF power source can include a radio-frequency generator configured to generate an electromagnetic (EM) radiation having a frequency between about 20 MHz and about 10 THz, a radio-frequency amplifier configured to amplify the generated EM radiation, and an output channel to direct the amplified EM radiation towards the volume of gas.
