Fundamental parameters are studied for the detailed design of a picosecond high power KrF laser system. The saturation energy density of 2.3 mJ/cm2 and gain recovery time of 1.9 ns in an e-beam pumped KrF laser are observed. A 6 ps pulse is amplified to 1.9 J. The system at the Electrotechnical Laboratory is expected to deliver 10 ps pulses with total energy of several tens of joules in several beams.
