Discharge pumped non-chain repetitively pulsed HF laser

The design and performance of a closed cycle, repetitively pulsed HF laser is described. The homogeneous glow discharge is formed with UV pre-ionization and transverse discharge structure. The optimal output parameters of single pulse operation are given by the investigation of discharge characteristics in SF6 /C2H6 gas mixture and output characteristics of laser pulse. The repetitively pulse energy stability of laser device are checked with different conditions of gas flowing velocity, charging voltage and total pressure of gas mixture. It is shown that the maximal output energy of laser pulse of 0.6J, peak power 3MW are obtained. Total efficiency of laser device is about 2.4%. When the gas mixture circulating with 4m/s flowing velocity, the maximal running frequency of 50Hz are obtained and operating stability keep well. Under these conditions, the laser pulse energy keeps stable and the average output power is 18W.
