摘要：

Applying the combination of a solid-state Ti:Sa laser system and a newly developed wide-aperture, discharge-pumped KrF amplifier, output pulses with over 9 W average power at 300 Hz have been achieved in a single output beam. The frequency-tripled seed pulses of the Ti:Sa system - delivering approximately 10 muJ energy at 248 nm - were amplified to over 30 mJ using a 3-pass off-axis amplification scheme. The optical set-up has been fitted to the amplifier's parameters, and stored-energy measurements were carried out with different parameters in order to optimize the operational conditions of the device for the highest average power.
