Hybrid stable–unstable resonators for diffusion-cooled CO2 slab lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present the numerical and experimental study that we carried out to compare the performances of two hybrid stable-unstable resonators for diffusion-cooled CO2 slab lasers. The two resonators are designed to fit a 320 mm × 60 mm × 2 mm rf-discharge channel and are both guided in the narrow transverse direction. They differ in the other transverse direction, consisting of a positive- or a negative-branch unstable resonator scheme. The two solutions have been characterized in terms of modal structure, power extraction, stability, and quality of the extracted beam.
