Sci. Instrum. 56, 474 (1985);A four-segmentedlongitudinal discharge low pressure N 2 1aser (337 nm) is reported in which automatic spark preionization and an LC inversion-charge transfer excitation circuit are employedo Its laser output power was nearly doubled when the techniques developed here were used. The characteristics ofthe peak laser output powers are interpreted qualitatively, with the electron densities calculated from the observed discharge voltages and currents.
