Abstract
Performance characteristics of a high-repetition rate rare-gas halide minilaser are reported. We obtained energy per pulse at the 1 kHz repetition frequency greater than 1 mJ per pulse for KrF and 0.5 mJ per pulse for XeCl. We observed net small signal gains greater than 0.3 cm-1 in XeCl and measured a wall plug efficiency as high as 0.25%.
