Abstract: | This paper describes pulsed lasers pumped with a transverse discharge powered by generators with capacitive and inductive energy stores. These lasers make it possible to obtain lasing in the vuv, visible, and ir spectral regions with a radiation energy of several joules. They are original in design, reliable in operation, and have a variety of applications in research and technology.
