Abstract:
We have investigated the characteristics of the discharge and lasing in nitrogen laser pumped by longitudinal discharge from a generator with inductive energy storage with silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) diode switch. It is shown that use of a specially designed cathode, strengthening the electric field inside a laser tube, allows obtaining a stable lasing in a laser tube of ~ 49 cm length. We present the amplitude-time lasing characteristics at various nitrogen pressures and cathode shapes.
