Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The results of experimental investigations into the feasibility of improving the spatial and temporal coherence of the radiation of aXeCl laser with a 16×12 cm output aperture and a pulse output energy up to 150 J are given. It is shown that in the injection-locked mode, 90% of the output energy can be emitted in a narrow spectral line. An unstable resonator with mirrors small in size and generalized parameters gi>1 allows a near-diffraction-limited beam divergence to be obtained.
