Notes:
A compact and inexpensive technique is reported for a discharge-excited pulsed metal vapor laser (MVL) at a low operating temperature utilizing an air-blown-type spark-gap switch. A laser is excited in an aperiodic pulse train by successive pulsed discharges of a storage capacitor through a spark-gap switch. A variety of neutral metal vapor laser (MVL) using metal compound as a lasant is briefly reported with the compact device.
