XeF waveguide laser.
Waveguide laser operation on the 351- and 353-nm transitions of the XeF rare-gas halide molecule has been demonstrated using a fast Blumlein circuit that operated at 2-20 Hz. Laser energy densities of ~8 mJ/liter have been observed from a 62.5-microl volume of flowing NF(3):Xe:He (1:4:150) gas mixture.
