  ABSTRACT: The nanosecond single pulse was employed here to generate a large volume glow discharge between the wire-plane electrodes in air. In order to find requirements on pulse waveform for generation of a large volume discharge at atmospheric pressure, the effect of pulse risetime, pulse width, and amplitude on glow discharge has been widely investigated in this paper. Results reveal that a large volume glow discharge can be generated in an inhomogeneous electric field under the single pulse with the faster risetime, the lower peak amplitude. The pulse width has almost no influence on the density of glow discharge, but which has a great influence on the transition from glow discharge to streamer discharge. A model of inter-shielding-effect has been proposed to explain the influence of waveform parameters on pulsed glow discharge.
