The production of a spark by focusing a single subnanosecond laser pulse in air and other gases has been investigated. Streak photographs reveal that the plasma development is significantly different from that observed with conventional Q-switched laser pulses. Preliminary studies of the pressure dependence of the breakdown threshold in argon and nitrogen are reported.
