Abstract
The design and performance of a discharge excited N2 laser which can produce pulses of 337-nm radiation with peak powers in excess of 5 MW and durations of 4 ns [full width at half-maximum (FWHM)] are described. The output beam is reproducible, uniform, and of large (25×35 mm) cross section. The peak value of the radiance is greater than 3×1011 Wsr−1.Keywords
