Description

The parameters of electric-discharge pulse-periodic XeCl lasers with a pulse duration of 25 - 40 ns, an energy of 0.2 - 0.7 J, and a pulse repetition rate up to 100 Hz have been investigated. It is shown that the total laser efficiency of 2.6 % and the maximum efficiency with respect to the stored energy of 3.8 % are obtained at a specific pump power of 2.8 - 3.3 MW cm-3 and a discharge circuit inductance of 3.5 - 4 nH.
