Carbon dioxide laser with a variable output pulse duration

A report is given of the construction of a CO2 laser in which the exciting discharge was stabilized by adding readily ionized organic substances to the mixture. The temporal characteristics of the laser emission pulses were investigated for a wide range of active mixtures and pulse durations from 10...

Zusammenfassung:A report is given of the construction of a CO2 laser in which the exciting discharge was stabilized by adding readily ionized organic substances to the mixture. The temporal characteristics of the laser emission pulses were investigated for a wide range of active mixtures and pulse durations from 10 microns to 150 nsec. A discussion is given of improvements in the output energy distribution over the beam cross section.
