Abstract

Operation of a transverse-discharge-excited Ca⁺ recombination laser at high He buffer gas pressures (1200 Torr) and high discharge current densities (10³ A/cm²) is reported. Single laser pulse energies at λ373.7 nm exceeding 0.7 mJ have been obtained corresponding to specific energy densities over 35 μJ/cm³. There appear to be no fundamental limitations to attainment of pulse repetition rates in the megahertz range.
