  • Abstract
    A high-pressure ( p = 3.5 atm) electroionization laser operating on the 5d-6p xenon atomic transitions is investigated for a pumping pulse duration range up to 30 μs. An output energy of more than 60 J has been achieved with an Ar-Xe mixture and an active volume of 10 1. The angular divergence of the radiation was about 5 \\times 10^{-5} rad. The advantages of such laser systems for industrial use is discussed.
