  • Abstract
    A pulsed HF laser with gain volume on the order of 20 cm3has been excited by several independent capacitively coupled transverse discharges sharing the same optical resonator. Specific output energies of 200 μJ/cm3have been obtained, indicating a significant improvement over previous results, and output pulse lengths have been extended threefold through discharge sequencing.
