Abstract
Surface discharge-pumped XeF (C→A) lasers producing single pulse energies as large as ~140 J have been reported previously. Having active lengths as large as 1.8 m, these devices produced pulses with temporal widths of typically 2-3 μs but operated on essentially a single shot basis. We have designed and tested a surface discharge-pumped XeF laser based on a new design for the entire electrical system.
