A UV Inductive Nitrogen Laser with a Peak Pulse Power of 600 kW

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

A 4.5 mJ energy of generation at a half-amplitude duration of 7 ± 1 ns (FWHM) with a pulse peak power of more than 600 kW is obtained for the first time with nitrogen pumped by a pulsed induction discharge. Laser generation is achieved in the form of a ring with a diameter of around 20 mm and a width of around 2 mm at wavelengths of 337.1 and 357.7 nm.
