Multiple-circuit pulse generator for high repetition rate rare gas halide lasers.
نویسنده
چکیده
A multiple-circuit high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) pulse generator for the pumping of rare gas halide lasers is reported. With this multiple-circuit design, high PRF can be achieved by the use of existing low PRF thyratron switches and capacitors. A two-circuit pulse generator was constructed, and its performance is described. By means of this pulse generator and a blowdown-type fast transverse-flow system, high PRF laser action in XeF was obtained, typically, 6 mJ/pulse at 1 kHz or 6 W average power. High PRF laser action in N(2) was also observed.

Optimisation of the pulse duration of a discharge-pumped XeF( <Emphasis Type="Italic">BX </Emphasis>) excimer laser
In an x-ray preionised XeF(B~X) dischargeexcited laser driven by a magnetic-spiker sustainer circuit with a magnetic pulse compressor the influence of the various parameters on the optical pulse duration was experimentally investigated. Laser pulses at 2= 351 nm with a duration of 212 ns (FWHM) have been achieved in a NF3/Xe/Ne mixture by using very low (0.25 mbar) NF3 partial pressures in a to...
متن کاملCw X-ray Preionized Pulsed Gas Lasers
We have successfully demonstrated that the cw x-ray generator can work as a preionization source for a pulsed H F laser. The preionization effect of cw x radiation was revealed by a comparative study of with and without applying x-ray photons to the H F laser. Since dose rate of the cw x-ray generator is easily controllable, the laser output could be measured as a function of initial electron n...
متن کاملTime-resolved measurements of emission and absorption in a long pulse duration XeCl* laser
2014 In this paper we describe time-resolved absorption and emission studies of an XeCl* laser discharge. The studies we carried out in order to gain a better understanding of the causes leading to the premature termination of both spontaneous emission and laser pulses in our device. This is a feature showed by all discharge pumped rare gas halide lasers. J. Physique 45 (1984) 1449-1456 SEPTEMB...

Picosecond optical pulse sources1 have been playing an increasingly impor tant role in the study of ultrafast processes and have potential application to highspeed electronics2 and optical communications. Interest in picosecond techniques has recently been stimulated by the generation of ultrashort pulses at high repetition rate, 3 but conventional sources have remained large and cumbersome lab...
متن کاملAll-fibre photonic signal generator for attosecond timing and ultralow-noise microwave.
High-impact frequency comb applications that are critically dependent on precise pulse timing (i.e., repetition rate) have recently emerged and include the synchronization of X-ray free-electron lasers, photonic analogue-to-digital conversion and photonic radar systems. These applications have used attosecond-level timing jitter of free-running mode-locked lasers on a fast time scale within ~10...
