Abstract: A low-pressure Ar arc discharge (length = 1.7 m, diameter = 12 mm) was used for continuous high-power generation of UV laser lines ( \lambda = 351.1 nm, 363.8 nm). Low-loss mirror coatings ...

Abstract: Continuous noble gas ion laser action is reported at eighteen wavelengths in the near UV and violet. All but one of these lines were previously reported in pulsed operation. Detailed results ...
