Nitrogen laser emitting ultraviolet radiation of high specific power at a high pulse repetition frequency

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
A study was made of the characteristics of a transverse-discharge molecular nitrogen laser (lambda=337.1 nm). When the length of the discharge chamber was 190 mm, the average output power was 210 mW. The specific average and pulse powers exceeded 40 mW/cm/sup 3/ and 40 kW/cm/sup 3/, respectively. Stimulated emission was observed at pulse repetition frequencies in excess of 2 kHz. The high specific power and high pulse repetition frequency were achieved in a laser discharge chamber whose walls were made of a ceramic characterized by a high thermal conductivity and were in contact with a relaxing plasma.
