Abstract

We report on a simple, high-power, TEA laser operating with N₂, XeF and KrF in the UV, with F and Ar in the visible and near IR, and with HF, CO, CO₂ and N₂O in the IR. Peak power of 0.5 MW and pulse energy of 4.5 mJ are obtained from N₂, 1.5 MW and 16 mJ from XeF, and 18 MW and 2.7 J from CO₂ in the same device. The performance of the N₂ laser is greatly improved (1 MW, 10 mJ) by the addition of NF₃ to the lasing mixture. Maximum power and energy are achieved near or above atmospheric pressure.
