Discharge Features in a Non-Chain HF-Laser

Abstract

Electric discharge parameters and amplitude-temporal and spectral parameters of laser radiation in gas mixtures of SF6 with hydrogen and hydrocarbons are studied. High discharge uniformity obtained with the use of special shaped electrodes along with uniform UV preionization is key parameter for improving intrinsic efficiency of discharge HF-laser. Experimental conditions providing high intrinsic efficiency of a non-chain HF laser are determined.
