A method and system to obtain a high power density plasma to efficiently generate high concentrations of plasma downstream from one or more plasma sources. A first embodiment of the invention involves a method to provide an improved power density for dissociating one or more gases to create plasma. A second embodiment of the invention involves a method to provide multiple chambers for dissociating one or more gases to create plasma. A third embodiment involves an apparatus using a constriction in a discharge chamber containing one or more gases, to provide an improved power density for dissociating one or more gases to create plasma. A fourth embodiment involves an apparatus using a constriction in multiple discharge chambers containing one or more gases, to provide an improved power density for dissociating one or more gases to create plasma.
