Abstract

Operational data of a novel segmented hollow-cathode 224 nm silver ion laser are reported. The laser represents a next step in a series of segmented hollow-cathode laser designs: starting from simple laboratory test versions heading towards a practical sealed-off laser tube. 150 mW quasi-continuous laser power is reached during the 100 μs long discharge current pulses. The maximal obtained average power is 1.8 mW. Promising lifetime tests provide necessary information for further design.
