Effective XeCl-laser performance conditions with combined pumping
Abstract
Results are presented of experimental researches of a XeCl-laser with discharge stability by a short electron beam. The maximum radiation energies are shown to be realized in a discharge with electron multiplication in the presence of low inductances of the discharge circuit and when achieving the threshold of generation from energy deposited into gas by an electron beam. Specific radiation energy of 2.5 J/I and efficiency ∼3% are obtained.
