FAST DISCHARGE, HIGH POWER, ELECTRIC DISCHARGE PUMPED GAS LASER

摘要

ABRIDGEMENT ABRIDGEMENT Laser emission from rare gas-halogen molecules, particularly krypton fluoride, is produced by a chemical reaction initiated by an efficient, high-power. high repetitionrate, fast electric discharge device transferring energy directly to a body of the gas in a laser cavity. The discharge device is of Blumlein parallel plate condensor/conductor type in which the condensor plate and their separating dielectric are uniformly compressed within an evacuated chamber by the force of the external atmospheric pressure.
