Wide-aperture CO2 lasers pumped by electron-beam-controlled discharge

摘要

Three powerful wide-aperture CO2 lasers with the wavelength lambda = 1.06 mu m (a laser pumped by electron-beam- controlled discharge, a high-pressure continuously tunable laser, and a repetitively pulsed laser) are created and studied. A method for the volume discharge generation proposed at the High-Current Electronics Institute is used for the development of the lasers.
