· Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)
Pulse slicing and two-pass amplification are investigated as a means of producing high-energy subnanosecond pulses in the near ultraviolet. A simple laboratory-scale XeCl oscillator--Pockels cell pulse slicer--amplifier system is used to produce 50-mJ pulses of subnanosecond duration at 308 nm. Comparison of multinanosecond and subnanosecond pulse amplification allows estimation of the amplifier energy storage time to be 5 ns and demonstrates nearly complete extraction of available stored energy by the subnanosecond pulse.
