Abstract
This article reviews the physical background and design of high-power excimer and CO2 TEA lasers, including a detailed discussion of electrode structures and pre-ionization, gas circulation and acoustic wave management as well as high-voltage switching and magnetic pulse compression technology. Chemical problems associated with the operation of excimer and CO2 lasers, the life-times of various laser components, and operating costs are also discussed.
