A 1-kJ KrF laser system under development is described. The system has an oscillator, three electron-beam (e-beam) amplifiers, and a Raman pulse compression system. The second stage e-beam amplifier has generated 170 J at the overall efficiency of 1.9%. The final stage amplifier is designed to deliver a 1-kJ optical output in 100 ns.
