Passive mode-locking of an XeCl* excimer laser
Abstract
Mode locking of an XeCl excimer laser was achieved with napthtnalene and PPT for the first time, using a simple, compact soft focus light path; a pulse width of 3 ns, over 90 percent modulation, a total output energy of 6.3 mJ, and a spatial divergence angle of 2mrad in a pulse train of 4 to 5 distinct 3-ns spikes was obtained.
