Laser-induced breakdown of argon gas near a metal surface is studied. It is observed that the threshold laser energy required to break down argon gas is reduced in the presence of a metal surface. Photoelectric emission from the metal surface dominates the thermionic emission to reduce the threshold laser energy for breakdown.
