INFLUENCE OF CAVITY CONFIGURATION ON THE PULSE ENERGY OF A HIGH-PRESSURE MOLECULAR FLUORINE LASER

We report an investigation of a high-pressure molecular fluorine laser operating at 158 nm. Several cavity configurations were studied, including one employing a roof prism as the high reflector. A maximum VUV pulse energy of 237 mJ, corresponding to a specific output of 3.3 J/1 was obtained when th...
