Abstract

It is possible to initiate an inertially confined cylindrical discharge in atmospheric pressure gas of arbitrary content. Such a discharge can serve as a powerful source of VUV radiation with wavelengths as short as 100 nm and a flux of hundreds of kW/ cm²/some thousands of wave numbers. The discharge with no containing transparent tube is directly inserted into the laser medium. A cylindrical layer of unperturbed gas adjacent to a boundary of the discharge experiences optimal pumping and shows laser action.
