    The present paper reviews our recent work on transient gain phenomena caused by both thermo & gas dynamic cooling mechanism and dissociation of CO2 molecules in a fast-axial flow (FAF) CO2 laser amplifier. Taking into account a time-dependent gas temperature T and an inverted population n2/n1, we theoretically formulate a transient gain as functions of the gas-flow velocity ν and the discharge current Idis including their spatial distributions along the radial direction from the plasma-tube axis to explain the transient power-decrease ΔP and the transient time tst required to be a stable value with respect to a plasma length l and an input probe power Pin Theoretical calculations are in good agreements with, corresponding experimental results. Possibilities for improving the above transient behavior are also demonstrated by cooling a plasma-tube wall and by use of an Au catalyst.

    An Ar (126nm) or a Kr (146nm) excimer laser, once used as a cavity reflector, has been found to cause serious surface damage-to silica glass. The damage was observed with an optical profilemeter and a selected-area X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. Transmission and reflectance spectra were also taken at the UVSOR facility. Si isolation in the surface layer is caused by Ar excimer laser irradiation, but not by Kr excimer laser irradiation. Excitons generated by Ar excimer laser photons via an efficient one photon process are considered to play a fundamental role inthe Si isolation.

    A new, simple method is presented for the accurate measurement of small angular displacements. An incident laser diode beam on a flat-parallel glass plate was reflected at the front and the rear surface of the plate, and the interference pattern of two reflected beams was measured with a one-dimensional image sensor and a microcomputer, After the running average of the interference pattern signals was computed numerically to reduce spatial noise on the interference pattern, interference peak positions and angular displacements were estimated. The small angular displacements thus obtained were found to be in approximate agreement with a theory.

    The 0-1 band selection of a XeC1 excimer laser was performed by using a solid etalon, with the aid of the OH absorption in the 0-2 band. Owing to the spectral width of the 0-1 band reduced to 13 pm and to the effectively reduced energy of the 0-2 band, brightness was increased by a factor of 13. The band selected output energy density, 11.0 mJ/cm2, is in good agreement with the value, 11.1 mJ/cm2, predicted from a simple model.

    A high-power ultra-short pulse excimer laser is being developed in the Max-Planck Institut für biophysikalische Chemie Göttingen, Fed. Rep. Germany. This system consists of an excimer laser excited distributed feedback dye laser and large aperture KrF excimer amplifiers. A subterawatt femtosecond KrF excimer laser (150fs, 45mJ) system has been working reliably. AnX-ray preionized 100mm×100mm large aperture KrF excimer amplifier has been constracted successfully, by which the output power level of the system will be extended to the terawatt region.
