Abstract
A gas laser for emitting ultraviolet laser light with a wave length of 248-249 nm, the gas mixture in the resonance chamber containing krypton, fluor or a fluor compound, and argon in such quantities that at room temperature the partial argon pressure exceeds 0.5 bar and the partial pressure of krypton and fluor or the fluor compound is smaller than 0.2 bar. The gas mixture in the resonance chamber also contains neon in such a quantity that its partial pressure at room temperature is at least equal to that of the argon.
Claims4
In a gas laser having a resonance chamber for emitting ultraviolet laser light with a wave length of 248-49 nm, a gas mixture in the resonance chamber comprising:
- krypton, fluor or a fluor compound, argon and neon gas, each gas exerting a partial pressure in the chamber and in such quantities that at room temperature the partial argon pressure exceeds 0.5 bar, the partial pressure of krypton and fluor or the fluor compound is smaller than 0.2 bar, and the partial neon pressure at room temperature is at least equal to that of the argon.
