Abstract
We have studied the effects of decreasing the excitation duration on t he pulse-repetition-rate (PRR) capabilities of a low-pressure (P < 200 Torr) N2-TE laser. It was found that maximum PRR increases with decre asing duration of the discharge current. PRR as high as 1000 Hz has be en obtained in the sealed-off non-flowing regime of laser operation. T hese findings are adequately explained by the time dependence of the a rc-discharge formation.
