Abstract.
The initial test results of the high-repetition-rate (rep-rate) electron-beam (e-beam) pumped KrF laser amplifier under development in our laboratory are reported. This amplifier is aimed at producing a laser energy of 20 J per pulse at a rep rate of 1 Hz. Thus far, 700 consecutive e-beampulses (250 kV, 270 J/pulse) were generated at a rep rate of 1 Hz. The laser gas was repetitively pumped by the e-beams injected through the water-cooled diaphragm foils.
