Homemade TEA laser Nitrogen v3.2 with N2 Dye coumarin

wow!these works even without cilyndrical lens!

My suggestion would be to use a much longer assembly with all capacitors simultaneously discharging. This way much higher output should be achievable.

increasing capacity is perhaps not the right way to go for mor output. You still need to discharge very fast. I just calculated the inductance (assuming 2x10cm for the inductance loop and found 133nH) which results in about 3.5MHz resonant frequency. for a fourth of a period, this would be approximately 70ns rise time, but after 1-2ns (even shorter) no more energy can be pumped into the nitrogen and all the other energy is wasted.
