HF laser excited by a capacitively coupled discharge

A pulsed HF laser with gain volume on the order of 20 cm 3 has been excited by several independent capacitively coupled transverse discharges sharing the same optical resonator. Specific output energies of 200 μJ/cm 3 have been obtained, indicating a significant improvement over previous results, an...

Zusammenfassung:	A pulsed HF laser with gain volume on the order of 20 cm 3 has been excited by several independent capacitively coupled transverse discharges sharing the same optical resonator. Specific output energies of 200 μJ/cm 3 have been obtained, indicating a significant improvement over previous results, and output pulse lengths have been extended threefold through discharge sequencing.
