We systematically investigated the effect of electrode geometry on the stabilization of sub-cycle mid-infrared (MIR) pulses generated via filamentation. Comparing Rogowski and needle electrodes, both reduced instability to ~1% at high voltage, while only the needle electrode improved stability beyond the no-electrode baseline at 0 kV. This indicates that electrode geometry itself contributes to stabilization independent of the applied electric field. Results are presented alongside electric field simulations toward optimal electrode design.
