Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory is at present constructing a high energy short pulse UV laser facility for laser compression studies. Present designs are for a 150 J, 1 ns system based on optical multiplexing and Raman conversion of high power 249 nm KrF lasers. The main power amplifier in this system will be the electron-beam-pumped KrF laser, Sprite, which has recently become operational (1). In this paper we will describe our recent experiments with Sprite, which are aimed at improving its performance and at investigating the generation of high energy, narrow linewidth, low divergence laser beams.
