Abstract: A repetitively pulsed high-frequency UV nitrogen laser based on magnetic pulse compression (MPC) ciruit is developed. The special characteristics of laser operation at pulse repetition rates up to 11 kHz are studied. Lasing with an average power of 1.4 W for a beam divergence of less than 0.5 mrad is obtained.
