Abstract

The phototriggering has been proposed many years ago as a way to improve the reliability of excimer lasers. It is now a mature technique that is used in conjunction with the most recent solid-state devices to make an industrial high average power excimer laser. After a brief historical introduction we here analyze the main features and scientific aspects of this discharge technique and give very recent results.
