OSTI ID:6908785
This patent describes a long-life transverse electric discharge laser assembly. It comprises: a housing for containing an excimer laser gas; means for electrically exciting the laser gas within the housing; means for circulating the laser gas within the housing; and gas bearings including means for supporting the circulating means on a cushion of laser gas to reduce friction and to allow baking of the housing at high temperatures, which baking enables the laser to operate for extended periods.
