Gas discharge laser

摘要

In the case of a gas discharge laser with a radio-frequency voltage source (4), a matching network (2) and a line (coaxial cable) (3) with impedance matching for the ignition case, the unignited case is optimised for ignition in that, by selection of the length (1) of the line (3), a particular active impedance (Z1) is produced, which, together with the other components (2, 12), brings about voltage resonance at the electrodes (12) at the operating frequency ( omega 0). <IMAGE>
