Abstract

Discharge and laser parameters in mixtures of SF₆ with H₂ and D₂ are studied using inductive and LC-generators. Excitation pulse parameters providing ultimate performance of discharge non-chain HF- and DF-lasers are determined. Processes affecting efficiency of the lasers are discussed. Ultimate intrinsic efficiency η_int of the HF and DF lasers up to 10% and 7%, respectively, was realized in the SF₆-H₂ (D₂) mixtures. Electrical efficiency of the lasers up to η₀ = 5-6% with the output over 1 J was demonstrated for the first time.
