With ferroelectric ceramic, principally BaTiO/sub 3/ dielectric capacitive coupling electrodes, simultaneous HF and DF pulsed laser action has been obtained as a function of (H/sub 2/)/((H/sub 2/)+(D/sub 2/)) in H/sub 2/+D/sub 2/+SF/sub 6/ mixtures. The laser had a multiline output of 30 ..mu..J for an efficiency of 5.4 x 10/sup -4/ at 120 pps. After 10/sup 7/ pulses there has been no degradation of electrodes or decrease in laser performance. Alternate H-source gases of CH/sub 4/, C/sub 2/H/sub 6/, and C/sub 3/H/sub 8/ had lower HF laser output than H/sub 2/.
