<p>A gas discharge laser having a laser chamber with two elongated erodable electrode elements, at least one of the electrode elements (72) having a generally blunt blade-shaped portion comprised of a material having high electrical conductivity with a flow shaping dielectric fairing (74) positioned on two sides of the blunt blade shaped portion (72). A pulse power system provides electrical pulses at rates of at least 1 KHz. A blower circulates laser gas between the electrodes at speeds of at least 10m/s and a heat exchanger is provided to remove heat produced by the blower and the discharges.</p> |
