Research Institute "PLASMA" is the leading developer and manufacturer of gas-discharge devices in Russia and CIS

Research Institute of Gas Discharge Devices PLASMA was established in 1959 as the leading vendor of

Nowadays PLASMA is a joint stock company with personnel exceeding 1500 employees; it incorporates ten production centers engaged in development and production of science-intensive and high-tech devices including gas lasers, plasma display panels (PDPs) and PDP-based information displays, gas discharge switching and protective devices, as well as consumer goods of a high demand, such as meat-processing equipment, metal-polymer pipes, vacuum and gas-filled double glass panes and so on.

The quality and reliability of their products are ensured by more than 40-year expertise in dealing with such demanding customers as defense and aerospace industry, by skilled scientific and technical personnel of the enterprise, by a potent production and technological base.

Products and manufacturing methods of PLASMA are used in many countries world-wide including countries of CIS, Europe, the USA, Israel, India, China, Japan and South Korea. The company was the first in Russia to develop and set up mass production of visible and IR emitting He-Ne lasers, and the first in the world to develop experimental samples of plasma display panels which later on were used as the basis for manufacture of flat screens of a new generation - plasma TV sets. The enterprise has developed and is producing cold cathode thyratrons - a principally new type of high power switching devices.

Continuing its traditions of innovation, JSC PLASMA specializes in introducing new technologies in the areas of health care, food industry, construction and automotive industry.

PLASMA is the main supplier of gas lasers, sparkgaps, thyratrons and plasma panels for information devices in the markets of Russia and CIS countries. The enterprise developed and is manufacturing color information and advertisement screens and information boards based on DC and AC plasma panels. Screens, from 60 cm to 10 m and more in diagonal, are capable of displaying computer, TV and combined information in real time. There has been developed flat home TV sets on the basis of color PDPs. Advantages of a new TV set include small thickness (less than 100 mm) and low weight (a new TV set is 2-3 times lighter than a conventional CRT TV set), absence of hazardous emissions, complete absence of geometric distortions and side effects, besides, and this is very important, the image on a PDP is far less fatiguing for an eye.

The list of laser devices of their production incorporates more than 150 models of He-Ne lasers, metal vapour lasers (helium+cadmium mixture), carbon dioxide molecular lasers (including pulsed lasers with longitudinal discharge, lasers with RF and DC excitation and small-size waveguide lasers), as well as noble gas ion lasers and nitrogen pulsed lasers.

JSC PLASMA traditionally occupies the leading position in development and production of heated cathode hydrogen thyratrons and tacitrons for operating voltages up to 50 kV and currents up to 1 kA, of triggered and untriggered sparkgaps for protection of radioengineering apparatus and communication lines. Amid the new developments of PLASMA there are cold cathode thyratrons and tacitrons (pseudospark gaps) with high voltage stability designed for application in pulsed systems and in technologies being applied in such novel, promising and vital areas as materials processing, purification of industrial effluents and waste products, health care.

JSC PLASMA strives to maintain direct and close contact with existing and potential customers as well as with scientists and specialists worldwide.

JSC PLASMA provide technical support to our respected customers both in Russia and abroad, incl. through recently opened distributor centers in a number of countries - Sweden, Germany, France, the USA, Japan and others for permanent operation.
