Abstract

From among the areas of excimer laser development at Los Alamos two are selected for further discussion: ultra-high brightness excimer laser systems and discharge-pumped XeF(C→A) lasers operating in the blue-green portion of the spectrum. Two different high brightness systems are described. One is based on small-aperture KrF amplifiers, while the other is based on a large-aperture XeC1 amplifier. The XeF(C→A) laser is tunable from 435 to 525 nm, and may one day become a viable alternative to pulsed dye lasers for many applications.
