10 kW cavity operation of a submillimetre CH3F laser

10 kW cavity operation of a submillimetre CH3F laser

Description of the operation of a CH3F oscillator which emits highly modulated 1-microsec pulses at 496 microns, delivering 6 mJ at peak powers greater than 10 kW. The laser is pumped by 9.95-micron CO2 TEA laser radiation. Performance represents 100 times the energy and 20 times the power reported...

Zusammenfassung:Description of the operation of a CH3F oscillator which emits highly modulated 1-microsec pulses at 496 microns, delivering 6 mJ at peak powers greater than 10 kW. The laser is pumped by 9.95-micron CO2 TEA laser radiation. Performance represents 100 times the energy and 20 times the power reported previously for a far-infrared optical cavity laser.
