Abstract
High-energy laser excitable by an arc-free capacitor discharge includes a power capacitor with minimal self-inductance formed of a stack of metal layers mutually superimposed perpendicularly to a given axis, with respective layers of insulation disposed between mutually adjacent metal layers of the stack, the metal layers and the insulation layers being formed with mutually aligned cut-outs in vicinity of the given axis so as to form a free space within the stack, respective surface portions of alternating layers of the metal layers projecting into the free space above one another as electrodes of given common polarity, the surface portions of the metal layers of respective opposite common polarity being disposed symmetrically with respect to the given axis in the free space; and a laser tube formed with a discharge chamber and having discharge electrodes, the laser tube being disposed in the free space of the power capacitor, the electrodes of given common polarity of the power capacitor being connected to the discharge chamber of the laser tube.
