Abstract
Pulsed laser action in neutral xenon has been obtained using a transversely excited helium‐xenon discharge with xenon partial pressure in the range 5–50 Torr. The optimum xenon partial pressure is 100 to 1000 times greater than that in previously reported cw xenon lasers. Pulses of 1000‐W peak power and 0.5‐μsec duration are obtained, with spectral components at 2.027, 3.508, and 3.652μ.Keywords
