On the operation of switch-less transversely excited atmosphere CO2 lasers in the oscillator and amplifier configurations

摘要

The work presented in this paper deals with the triggering aspect of a switchless laser. Many methods were utilized to affect the operation of two switch-less lasers in the oscillator-amplifier configuration. Most satisfactory performance in terms of the range and reliability of the delay was obtained with the LC inversion-based triggering option.
