Abstract
The authors describe the design of a simple and novel travelling-wave-type pulsing system suitable for transverse discharge excitation of high-power UV gas lasers. The pulsers have been used to excite high-pressure nitrogen lasers at 337.1 nm with effective inversion lifetimes of <or approximately=1 ns. The beam powers exceed 2 MW.Keywords
