Abstract :
A double-discharge TEA CO2mode-locked oscillator/ amplifier system, which produces a maximum energy output of approximately 10 J in a single nanosecond pulse, is described. The mode-locked oscillator operates on at least four lines simultaneously. The characteristics of the amplifying medium are also discussed.
