LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: High-power Ne-H2 laser pumped by a compact industrial accelerator
Emission of 585.3 nm pulses of 1.5 k W power (~ 15 kW/liter) was observed from a mixture of the Ne:H2 = 2:1 composition at p = 0.65 atm and a record-low input energy ( 30mJ). The excitation source was an electron beam from a MIRA-2D industrial x-ray unit.
