Abstract
Test results of an X-ray preionized avalanche discharge laser are presented. In this device, a water dielectric transmission line is employed as the discharge energy source and a multi-arc-channel rail gap switch is used to improve the front edge characteristics of the discharge voltage. Homogeneous discharge lasted about 70 ns in a typical XeC1 laser discharge gas of 2 to 5 atm, and XeCl 3080A laser output energy (5 to 6J/1 exceeding 1.2J was obtained in an active volume of 210 cu cm.
