Abstract
Long-life operation is required for industrial excimer lasers. It is necessary to decrease the input peak power to the laser to get long-life operation of the switching device, optical components, and discharge electrodes. Accordingly, the repetition rate of pulse excitation has to be increased corresponding to the required laser power.
