Abstract
In discharge-pumped KrF excimer lasers, we frequently observe a big difference in the degradation and damage modes of cathode and anode surfaces; there are sputtered erosion on the cathode surface and noncon elective fluorides on the anode surface. We assume that the difference is due to the asymmetric behavior of laser plasma according to the discharge polarity.
