Abstract

The influence of the preioniser and main discharge circuit parameters on the performance of a high pressure UV preionised KrF laser using NF3 as the fluorine donor has been investigated. Output laser energy densities of 1.7J·1−1 based on the mode volume have been obtained under optimised conditions.
