Abstract:
We present here a study of characteristics of a three-electrode, dual-discharge XeCl-laser operated in the regime with a preliminary multiplication of electrons. Use of that type of the discharge formation enabled us to essentially decrease the voltage at the primary capacitors of the energy storage units, to achieve a perfect matching between the pump power supply electric circuitry and the load, and thus to increase the laser efficiency up to 3.7%.
