Abstract
A compact high-power nitrogen laser has been devised using commercially available ceramic capacitors. An output power of 1 MW with a 7 ns pulse width is obtained for an active length of 50 cm when it is operated at 18 kV. The dependence of the laser light output on the configuration of the ceramic capacitors has been studied experimentally as a function of the nitrogen gas pressure.Keywords
