Abstract
The e-beam-pumped KrF laser "GAR-PUN" produces 100 ns pulses with an output energy of ~100 J and peak power ~1 GW in free-running and injection-controlled narrow-band operation.1 In this paper we describe a design of a multistage KrF laser system with an expected output power of 5-10 GW in nanosecond range.
