Analysis of temporal-length limitations in XeCl lasers
Abstract
Experimental observations of the development of constrictions in rare-gas halide laser discharges are reported. The onset of constriction is related to the premature termination of both spontaneous emission and laser pulses in a discharge-excited XeCl laser. A mechanism is proposed to account for the onset of constriction in this laser which may be more generally applicable to other discharge-excited devices.
