Abstract

Operation of a transversely excited Sr⁺ recombination laser at buffer gas (He) pressures up to 1300 Torr and discharge current densities up to 10³ A/cm² is reported. Specific energy densities on the λ430.5-nm Sr⁺ line exceed 50 μJ/cm³ for the 30-cm³ active volume device with no fundamental limitations observed. Double-pulse experiments indicate pulse repetition frequencies near 1 MHz may be possible.
