  • Abstract
    A diffraction-limited laser beam with a pulse energy of 120 mJ and brightness up to a magnitude order of 1014W . cm-2. Sr-1has been achieved in an X-ray preionized discharge XeCl laser by using a self-filtering unstable resonator. The near- and far-field laser properties have been examined.
