“…The speed of the bleaching wave expansion is much higher than that of the discharge. For typical experimental conditions it equals to about 10 km/s compared to the discharge speed of about 1 km/s [2][3][4]7]. Thus, it is possible to consider the pumping discharge as an infinitely thin linear light source.…”

Experimental and theoretical results are presented of a XeF(C-A) blue green laser driven by 5kJ energy. The laser was pumped by a ferrite induced discharge of 90 cm long. An output energy of O.22J has been Obtained with a plane parallel resonator. A code to simulate the laser has been developed. Numerical results for a wide range of conditions are compared with experiments performed by us and other authors. It is found that the IntracaVity refractive losses limit the laser operation for XeF2 pressures above 3 Torr. The laser output depends strongly on the discharge-cavity length ratio. Possible ways to increase the laser power and efficiency are discussed.

“…Extensive experimental investigations of the exploded wire technique have resulted in energies up to 15 J with an efficiency of 4.10 -4 [3,4]. The next step was taken in [5][6][7], where the laser was pumped by an open surface discharge capable of operating in a pulse repetitive mode. Energies of up to 117 J were obtained with an efficiency of ,-~ 1.3-10 -3.…”

Experimental and theoretical results are presented on an XeF(C-A) blue-green laser driven by 5-kJ energy. The laser was pumped by a ferrite-induced discharge of 90 cm in length. The output energy of 0.22 J was obtained with a plane-parallel resonator. A program to simulate laser operation has been developed. Numerical results for a wide range of conditions are compared with experiments performed by us and by other authors. It is found that intracavity refractive losses limit laser operation for XeF pressures above 3 torr. The laser efficiency strongly depends on the discharge-to-cavity length ratio. Possible ways to increase the laser power and efficiency are discussed.
