PULSE GAS LASER BASED ON MIXTURES OF INERT GASES WITH HALOGENIDES Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: laser technology. SUBSTANCE: given laser includes laser chamber filled with gas mixture that has resonator and electrodes connected to current interrupter and preionization source. Main discharge circuit incorporates capacitor (C₁), commutator (K₁), connecting potential and ground buses forming inductor (L₁) of main discharge circuit, auxiliary discharge circuit with capacitor (C₂), commutator (K₂) inductor of auxiliary discharge circuit (L₂). Laser has high-voltage source to charge capacitors and system of synchronous switching on of commutators. Correction inductor (L_cor) is allocated in main discharge circuit and correction capacitor (C_cor) is placed in parallel to it to satisfy following relationships L₁ = L11
