Planar repetitively pulsed microwave-pumped CO{sub 2} laser

A planar repetitively pulsed microwave-pumped CO{sub 2} laser with discharge channel lengths of 250 and 470 mm is experimentally investigated. An average laser power of 60 W at a wavelength of 10.6 {mu}m is attained. A peak power of 1300 W is reached in the repetitively pulsed regime. The dependence...

Zusammenfassung:A planar repetitively pulsed microwave-pumped CO{sub 2} laser with discharge channel lengths of 250 and 470 mm is experimentally investigated. An average laser power of 60 W at a wavelength of 10.6 {mu}m is attained. A peak power of 1300 W is reached in the repetitively pulsed regime. The dependences of the shape and energy of CO{sub 2} laser pulse on the introduced power, working gas mixture composition and pressure, and pump-pulse repetition rate and width are analysed. (lasers)
