Abstract

Three-electrode XeCl laser, based on the use of a double discharge and regime of preliminary electron multiplication, was investigated. Utilization of this method of discharge formation allowed significantly to decrease operating voltage at the main storage capacitor, obtain full matching of the pumping source with a load, and increase laser efficiency up to 3.7%.
