Am. Boichenko et al., INVESTIGATION OF AN XEF LASER-PUMPED BY G AMMA-RADIATION FROM A NUCLEAR-EXPLOSION, Kvantovaa elektronika, 23(5), 1996, pp. 420-422
Experimental and theoretical investigations were made of an XeF laser
pumped by a travelling ionising wave originating from a nuclear explos
ion. The results indicated that an efficiency, in terms of the input e
nergy, could reach 1-3%.
