Abstract
The design and performance of a compact cross-field 337 nm N2 laser are described. The laser produces pulses of 2 MW peak power and 600 ps FWHM at an optimum pressure of 75 Torr and a repetition rate of 1 pulse/s, variable up to 12 pulse/s. The improvement in laser performance is a result of total impedance value reduction as well as careful adjustment of the electrical circuit parameters.Keywords
