Abstract

NovaTube^TM is the result of many years of extensive material research at Lambda Physik to develop a laser cavity of quasi sealed-off laser performance. As test data demonstrate the operating costs can be cut 10 times using the new tube. Test runs in the laboratory have culminated in 10⁹ shots operation on a single gas fill achieved with a 50 W KrF laser.
