Tapered transmission line couples energy from magnetic switch to excimer laser. Transmission line provides constant impedance for pulses from switch and distributes pulses across length of laser as nearly uniform wave fronts. Allows smaller, more efficient magnetic core to be used in switch. Losses and circuit capacitance are less than for full-laser-width line and core.
