Abstract
A large volume multiple-path nuclear pumper laser which has improved characteristics over previous cylindrical nuclear pumped laser systems. Large volumes of gas are excited by using internal high reflectance mirrors that are arranged so that the optical path crosses back and forth through the excited gaseous medium. By adjusting the external dielectric mirrors of the laser, the number of paths through the laser cavity can be varied. Output powers have been obtained that are substantially higher than the output powers of previous nuclear laser systems.
