Abstract

Considerable progress of microwave pumping of excimer laser gas mixtures has been achieved. The present measurable best values for the pulse energy lie in the mJ range. A microwave pulse compression technique is applied using a resonantly charged microwave cavity. The stored energy is extracted by igniting a high density plasma in a quartz tube which acts as a switch and as a laser amplifier yielding a high energy laser pulse.
