1/4-J discharge pumped KrF laser.
Over 1/4-joule per pulse is obtained from a cable-fed uv preionized discharge device where a faster energy deposition rate compensates for a slower voltage rise time. These slower voltage rise-time devices may be scalable to high repetition rates using conventional thyratron switching techniques.
