Peculiarities of short pulse electrical discharge XeCl laser

This paper reports on experimental results and simulation of XeCl-laser with short laser pulse duration. Experimental investigation was aimed at obtaining of maximal lasing power and efficiency. The processes taking place in plasma and in resonator were simulated. Temporal evolutions of plasma particle density as well as simulation rates of processes of ionization, recombination, attachment and formation of XeCl molecules in excited states were obtained. Simulation dependencies have been analyzed; mechanisms of initial parameter effect on lasing power have been established.
