ABSTRACT:
A laser system capable of producing multiple pulses comprising a single optical resonator having multiple discharge regions and multiple sets of electrodes and preionizers. The optical resonator is folded and the beam passes through all of the discharge regions. Since the multiple discharges occur within the same resonator, multiple identical pulses are produced and since the discharge regions are separated, the shock wave and medium inhomogeneity produced by a discharge in one discharge region will not disturb the others. The overall mirror separation and electrode spacing define a Fresnel number suited for single transverse mode operation.
