Zusammenfassung:An electric discharge laser apparatus having a laser chamber containing a laser gas and two longitudinal electrodes defining a discharge region for producing electrical discharges, and a tangential fan for circulating the laser gas. The fan has blade members and hub members configured to minimize adverse effects of reflections of electric discharge generated shock waves back to the discharge region simultaneously with a subsequent discharge.
