Pulsed laser facilities developed at the Gas Lasers Lab of the Lebedev Physics Institute and their applications for different laser‐matter interactions are discussed. The lasers operating from UV to mid‐IR spectral region are as follows: e‐beam pumped KrF laser (λ= 0.248 μm) with output energy 100 J; e‐beam sustained discharge CO2(10.6 μm) and fundamental band CO (5–6 μm) lasers with output energy up to ∼1 kJ; overtone CO laser (2.5–4.2 μm) with output energy ∼ 50 J and N2O laser (10.9 μm) with output energy of 100 J; optically pumped NH3 laser (11–14 μm). Special attention is paid to an e‐beam sustained discharge Ar‐Xe laser (1.73 μm; ∼ 100 J) as a potential candidate for a laser‐propulsion facility. The high energy laser facilities are used for interaction of laser radiation with polymer materials, metals, graphite, rocks, etc.
