Abstract :
We measured the energy extraction for 60-ns pulses and compared our experimental and theoretical results. The theoretical curve is in agreement with the experimental results. We plotted the theoretical evolution of

, and

in an amplifying stage. We finally compared the different energy extraction versus the pulse duration.
