Laser-induced medium perturbation in a large CO sub(2) laser

Laser-induced medium perturbation was investigated in a large ultraviolet-initiated CO sub(2) laser using time-resolved interferometry and beam quality measurements. The beam quality was found to be severely degraded after about 3 mu s, and analytical modeling was performed which predicts the onset...

Zusammenfassung:Laser-induced medium perturbation was investigated in a large ultraviolet-initiated CO sub(2) laser using time-resolved interferometry and beam quality measurements. The beam quality was found to be severely degraded after about 3 mu s, and analytical modeling was performed which predicts the onset time.
