Development of Tunable Excimer Lasers

Abstract

An investigation was conducted of the fundamental processes affecting the operation, performance and application of electrically excited lasers having potential utility in a variety of areas of importance to the Navy. Particular attention was focused on the broadband XeF (C A) laser, which has the potential for efficient, tunable operation throughout the blue-green spectral region. This report summarizes the results of this investigation, and lists published papers and conference reports in which specific results and conclusions of the research are described in detail. Keywords: Tunable excimer lasers; Injection control.
