Excimer lasers with high spectral brightness working in the regenerative amplifier regime

OSTI ID:5949359
For several years transverse discharge excited excimer lasers (RGH-lasers) have been recognized as the laser source in the UV spectral range. The variety of wavelengths available make them very attractive especially for photochemical applications. In addition, the XeCl laser (308 nm) has been found to be particularly well-suited for pumping dye lasers. A growing interest in the VUV spectral range as well as for XUV wavelengths has led to a number of experiments in which the wavelength of the excimer laser is transferred to the VUV by non-linear processes such as harmonic generation, mixing with dye lasers or parametric processes. A major drawback of conventional excimer lasers for the latter application is the poor quality of their beam divergence and spectral brightness. An excimer laser with high spectral brightness is discussed.
