The spectral output characteristics of an injection-controlled XeF(C→A) excimer laser pumped by a short pulse (10 ns), high current density (250 A/cm2) electron beam are reported. A tuning bandwidth of 50 nm full width half maximum, centered at 490 nm, with a peak specific energy density of 1.3 J/ℓ was measured using an injection laser intensity of ∼2 MW/cm2. Continuously tuned output across the entire blue-green region (450–530 nm) with an energy density exceeding 0.2 J/ℓ was achieved. Injection beam spectral linewidths as narrow as 0.001 nm were shown to be preserved in the XeF(C→A) laser output.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
