Generation of an electrochemical HF laser at a gas pressure up to 5 atm was attained for the first time. The laser was excited with a high-voltage autonomous pulsed discharge of short duration in a mixture of SFg, H2, and He with a large excess of helium. We investigated the effect of the pressure on the energy characteristics of the laser and its gain.
