Instrum. 56, 205 (1985); 10.1063/1.1138330 Highrepetitionrate shortpulse gas discharge Rev.The recently developed technology of high-pressure molecular lasers has been combined with ultrahigh-vacuum technology to develop a fast-flow high-pressure laser system capable of long-duration closed-cycle operation with rare gases. The system's economy, reliability, and capability for long-time operation at a high repetition rate make it suitable for avionics, space, and isotope separation applications. High-repetition-rate laser performance has been demonstrated in He-Xe, Ne-Xe, Ar-Xe, and Kr-Xe. Experimental results for high-pressure He-Xe mixtures are given.
