Abstract

Preliminary experiments were performed to investigate the fundamental characteristics of the KrF and CO lasers, and the laser produced plasmas for pulsed ion beam production. (1) The mode patterns of a discharge-pumped KrF and CO lasers were measured recently to prepare the future target irradiation. (2) A lithium target was irradiated by a small e-beam pumped KrF laser and the exhausted plasma were measured. (3) A larger KrF laser of the same kind was operated and the output characteristics were observed.
