ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method of providing for the excitation of a pulsed laser in which the pulsed excitation energy is provided to the laser plasma volume in a series of bursts, each burst being characterized by containing sufficient pulses to sustain the laser pumping current and by being separated from the previous bursts by sufficient time for the laser plasma to recombine. Application of the burst mode enhancement technique is described with reference to a PIE or photo-initiated, inpulse-enhanced, electrically excited plasma excitation process.
