Abstract

Review on application of double-discharge circuits with inductive energy storage (IES) and semiconductor opening switch (SOS) for development of efficient gas lasers is presented. It was shown that the IES allows to form long-lived stable discharge in different gas mixtures. As a result, pulse duration, output energy and efficiency of the lasers under study were improved.
