· Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)
A design is reported for a compact and simply constructed CO/sub 2/ TEA laser giving pulses of up to 50 J with 0.1-..mu..s duration from a discharge of dimensions 45 x 6 x 6 cm/sup 3/. The gas is preionized by vuv irradiation from two lines of 34 series arcs to either side of the uniform field electrodes to which potentials of +50 kV and -50 kV are applied. The mechanism of preionization and the conditions for a uniform discharge are considered. (AIP)
