Electric-discharge XeCl laser emitting 10-J, 300-ns pulses

The development of a long-pulse electric-discharge XeCl laser with the 9 x 6 x 100 cm active volume is reported. Laser is excited by using a double circuit with a pulsed charged storage capacitor consisting of paper-oil capacitors forming the pulse-shaping line. The storage capacitor is switched by...

Summary:The development of a long-pulse electric-discharge XeCl laser with the 9 x 6 x 100 cm active volume is reported. Laser is excited by using a double circuit with a pulsed charged storage capacitor consisting of paper-oil capacitors forming the pulse-shaping line. The storage capacitor is switched by a multichannel extended gap. The laser mixture was preionised by X-rays. The laser generated the 10-J output pulses with the FWHM of 300 ns, and a uniform intensity distribution over the exit aperture. (lasers)
