    • The present invention provides a gas discharge laser having at least one long-life elongated electrode for producing at least 12 billion high voltage electric discharges in a fluorine containing laser gas. In a preferred embodiment at least one of the elctrodes is comprised of a first material having a relatively low anode erosion rate and a second anode material having a relatively higher anode erosion rate. The first anode material is positioned at a desired anode discharge region of the electrode. The second anode material is located adjacent to the first anode material along at least two long sides of the first material. During operation of the laser erosion occurs on both materials but the higher ero sion rate of the second material assures that any tendency of the discharge to spread onto the second material will quickly erode away the second material enough to stop the spread of the discharge. In a preferred embodiment the anode is as described above and the cathode is also a two-material electrode with the first material electrode with the first material at the discharge region being C26000 brass and the second material being C36000 brass. A pulse power system provides electrical pulses at rates of at least 1 KHz. A blower circulates laser gas between the electrodes at speeds of at least 5 m/s and a heat exchanger is provided to remove heat produced by the blower and the discharges.
    • 本发明提供了一种气体放电激光器,其具有至少一个长寿命的细长电极,用于在含氟激光气体中产生至少120亿个高压放电。 在优选实施方案中,至少一个电极由具有相对低的阳极侵蚀速率的第一材料和具有相对较高的阳极侵蚀速率的第二阳极材料构成。 第一阳极材料位于电极的期望的阳极放电区域。 第二阳极材料沿第一材料的至少两个长边位于第一阳极材料附近。 在两种材料的激光冲蚀操作过程中,第二种材料的腐蚀速度较高,确保放电扩散到第二种材料上的任何趋势将迅速消除第二种材料,从而阻止放电扩散。 在优选实施例中,阳极如上所述,阴极也是具有第一材料电极的双材料电极,其中在放电区域处的第一材料为C26000黄铜,第二材料为C36000黄铜。 脉冲功率系统以至少1KHz的速率提供电脉冲。 鼓风机以至少5m / s的速度在电极之间循环激光气体,并且提供热交换器以去除由鼓风机和排出物产生的热量。
