Abstract

We have made careful quantitative measurements of intrinsic efficiency for a pure e-beam pumped xenon chloride laser with a long pulse (0.75 μsec) and low input power (75-kW/cm3) excitation. A 300-keV cold cathode electron gun delivers ~5 A/cm2 to a laser volume measuring 75 × 10 × 10 cm3. A 1-kG magnetic field along the electron propagation direction guides electrons through a drift region which separates the e-beam diode from the laser chamber and also provides some control of electron scattering within the laser volume.
