Diffraction-limited KrF and XeF lasers with a negative-branch unstable resonator

Diffraction-limited performance has been achieved in discharge-excited KrF and XeF lasers by using an unstable resonator configuration. A peak power of 5 MW (50 mJ) was produced from a Blumlein circuit with stored energy of only 5 J.
