Abstract
Simultaneous laser action in UV (337.1 nm and 357.7 nm) and IR (2.6 – 3.1 µm) spectral ranges are obtained in SF6/N2/propane-butane mixture directly excited by a sliding discharge. Output energies of 1.1 mJ in the ultraviolet and 12 mJ in the infrared are obtained, respectively. Some performance parameters are presented.
