Abstract
Design principles for pulsed nitrogen lasers operating in the 100-kW-1-MW range are discussed with emphasis on manufacturing and reliability. Areas where continuing development of component parts, including high peak current switches and capacitors, appears important are discussed. Performance levels for various state-of-the-art designs are compared.
