Properties of a coaxial cw CO2 laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A cw CO2 laser has been developed in which the active medium is formed by a discharge between coaxial electrodes. The laser gain and saturation properties have been studied as functions of the various device parameters. Over-all efficiency is about the same as for a conventional longitudinal discharge laser, and advantages of the coaxial geometry include low voltage operation, rapid cooling, and rugged construction.
