Instead of using the explosively released energy directly, one may use it to pump some lasing material spatially separated from thehighexplosive.

Thehighexplosiveis arranged in a layered zigzag pattern, ignited from both sides with triggered flash lamps.

The electrical charge used to initiate the small piece ofhighexplosiveis no longer a negligible energy source.
From theCambridge English Corpus
For the direct conversion of the chemical energy into a laser pulse, thehighexplosivemust be simultaneously ignited throughout the entire volume it occupies.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Furthermore, it is unlikely that a clean spherical detonation can be formed in thehighexplosivebefore the blast wave travels into the gas.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A very different way a laser can be pumped by ahighexplosiveis with a magneto-hydrodynamic dynamo generating multi-megampere currents, which have to pass through a lasing material.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In this case, a shockwave is generated from the detonation of 100 to 200g of ahighexplosive, which is launched into a gas filled glass cylinder.

That agreement will run for 21 years and will allow continuedhighexplosivefiring until 1998, as well as greater public access.
