Description
The power output of an iodine laser has been increased and the half-width of the laser spike reduced by compressing the photolytically pumped laser gas with a shock wave. The deflection of the beam in the density gradient of the shock front Q spoils the laser cavity until the shock front has traversed the lasing volume
