Abstract
A high-pressure (p = 3.5atm) electroionization laser operating on the5d-6pxenon atomic transitions is investigated for a pumping pulse duration range up to 30 μs. An output energy of more than 60 J has been achieved with an Ar-Xe mixture and an active volume of 10 1. The angular divergence of the radiation was about5 \times 10^{-5}rad. The advantages of such laser systems for industrial use is discussed.Keywords
