Laser induced medium perturbation in a pulsed CO2 laser

Laser induced medium perturbation (LIMP) has been identified by time-resolved interferometry observations of the lasing/nonlasing boundaries in a pulsed, kilojoule CO2 electron beam laser, working at atmospheric pressure. This fundamental effect destroys the quality of the laser output beam and ther...

Zusammenfassung:Laser induced medium perturbation (LIMP) has been identified by time-resolved interferometry observations of the lasing/nonlasing boundaries in a pulsed, kilojoule CO2 electron beam laser, working at atmospheric pressure. This fundamental effect destroys the quality of the laser output beam and therefore has serious implications in laser design.
