    The left panel shows a large blue cylindrical scientific instrument, likely a particle detector or beam device, mounted on a white support frame in a laboratory facility. The right panel displays a false-color intensity map (heat map) of a beam or radiation profile, showing a horizontally elongated yellow-green hot zone centered between labeled 'Top 30 cm Window' and 'Bottom 30 cm Window' reference points. A scale bar of 10 cm is provided on the right panel for spatial reference.

    (Left) Photo of the Electra electron-beam pumped amplifier (before x-ray shielding was installed). (Right) The Electra diode’s vertical dimension was reduced from 30 cm to 10 cm to provide higher pump intensity for argon fluoride laser (ArF) operation. The specific pump rate for ArF has a lower small signal gain and higher saturation flux than krypton fluoride (KrF). The image shows a time resolved measurement of the emitted light produced by the reduced size electron beam interacting with the laser gas along the laser axis.
