The possibility is experimentally shown of generating a continuous opt
ical discharge in wide-band heat radiation having the plasma of a heav
y-current light-erosion plasmadynamic discharge as its source and the
air atmosphere as its medium. Experimental data are obtained in suppor
t of this assumption.
