Abstract: | This paper describes the laser performance of an X-ray preionized ten-liter volume, electron-avalanche discharge XeCl system, operated at dc charging voltages of up to 70 kV both with and without X-ray preionization. An output energy of more than 11J uniformly distributed over a (7×10) cm2 spot size was achieved using a multichannel spark-gap as the main discharge switch. The discharge was also successfully operated in the switchless mode, yielding a 4.8 J output energy and a 0.9% efficiency. The time-resolved gain measurements provided information on the laser discharge evolution.ENEA GuestENEA Guest on leave from the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, China |
