The possibility of effectively ionizing a supersonic flow by a strong microwave field within a waveguide has been demonstrated. Electron densities beyond the cut off have been achieved at gas temperatures far below room temperature. Hence this method promises to be a good candidate to preionize and stabilize supersonic, non-selfsustained laser discharges
