Abstract
The output power of any excimer gas-discharge laser is dependent on the maximum current through the laser and particularly on the rising speed of this current. Up to now the best performance has been obtained by constructing systems with a low circuit inductance and by the use of a waterline in series with a multisparkgap, which is pulse-loaded by an additional supply like a Marx generator.
