Abstract

Results of experimental and theoretical investigations of XeCl with discharge formation by means of inductive energy storage and semiconductor opening switch have been presented. Main pumping of active medium has been performed by capacitive energy storage. Measured laser output energy is 0.8 J Laser efficiency calculated from energy stored in capacitive energy storage is 2.3%. Simulations predict that the optimization of pumping conditions may increase these parameters in two times.
