XeF laser at a high electron beam pump rate
Journal Article
·
· Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)
A significant increase of the XeF laser efficiency has been observed in an electron beam pumped device. Mixtures of NF/sub 3/, Xe, and Ne at 300 K and a density of 3 amagat were pumped at a rate of 300 kW/cm/sup 3/ with a 500-ns pulse. This deposited 150 J/l into the laser cavity. Measurements were made for various mixtures and output couplings. The highest intrinsic laser efficiency (defined as the ratio of laser output energy to e-beam energy deposited into the gas) observed was 4.7%.
