Abstract
A pulsed inductive nitrogen laser with a wavelength of 337.1 nm and a pulse power of 200 kW has been created. The excitation system of a cylindrical pulsed inductive discharge in nitrogen has been described. The spectral, energy, and temporal parameters of laser radiation have been investigated. Pulses with an energy of 2.4 mJ and a duration of 12 ± 1 ns have been generated. Laser radiation has the ring shape with an external diameter of 33 mm and a thickness of 1–1.5 mm. The divergence of radiation is 0.3 mrad.
