Vm. Borisov et al., CONDITIONS FOR THE EXCITATION OF A WIDE-A PERTURE XECL LASER WITH AN AVERAGE OUTPUT RADIATION POWER OF 1 KW, Kvantovaa elektronika, 22(5), 1995, pp. 433-435
The conditions for energy deposition in a pulse-periodic XeCl laser wi
th a 9 cm x 6 cm aperture were investigated and analysed. A new power
supply system in the form of two series-connected LC inverter circuits
, combined with a magnetic pulse-compression stage, ensured the format
ion of a homogeneous gas discharge at charging voltages not exceeding
30 kV. An output energy of similar to 10 J per pulse was obtained at a
pulse repetition rate of 100 Hz.
