Abstract
The net-small-signal gain of a molecular fluorine F2 laser pumped by a coaxial electron beam has been measured in gas mixtures of He/F2 and He/Ne/F2. A peak net-small-signal gain of 0.63 cm-1 has been measured in a mixture of He/Ne/F2 at a pressure of 8 bar and a pumping power d ensity of 13 MW/cm3.
