  • Abstract
    Experimental results are presented on the performance of CW krypton arc lamps operated at power levels up to 20 kW. These lamps are suitable for pumping of high-powered Nd:YAG lasers. Operating life and electrical and spectral characteristics of the lamps were tested as a function of arc length, bore size, and fill pressure.
