Operation of an HF /SF6 + H2/ TE laser at 10-kHz pulse repetition rates
Abstract
A flowing HF transverse excitation (TE) discharge laser has been operated at 10,000 pps for up to one billion pulses. Preliminary testing at 100 pps produced 350-microjoule/pulse output with reduced outputs at higher pulse rates.
