Abstract

We report the first documentation of an effective scalable saturable absorber for KrF lasers. Our measurements show that a 4-cm path length of ozone (O₃) at a partial pressure of 0.4 Torr will attenuate energy densities under 50 mJ/cm² by a factor of ~50 while allowing transmission of 90% of fluences above 1 J/cm².
