This paper presents the results of optical, spectroscopic, 
and electrophysical studies of plasma obtained with the aid of a combined 
two-stage, electric-discharge system at atmospheric pressure. A comparative 
study of such plasma sources with the use of pure dielectric insertions 
and insertions with metal disposition on their working surface has 
been made. The considered variants of pulsed sources operating in 
the air permit obtaining under these conditions relatively dense low-temperature 
(6000-9000 K) plasma streams of a definite composition.
