What is it about?
By applying a phase staggered sinusoidal excitation to a set of conformal electrodes in a cylindrical geometry. a rotating electric field can created. This field has both azimuthal and radial component which disperses space charge throughout the volume of the discharge thus avoiding instabilities.

Why is it important?
Creation of large volume plasma at atmospheric pressure will have a major impact in manufacturing processes and light sources.
Perspectives
Scaling non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma to larges volume has been a challenge due to instabilities leading to arcing. We have proposed a solution to this problem and are developing hardware to demonstrate the proof of concept.
