METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR MAXIMIZING THE OUTPUT POWER OF A GAS LASER

摘要

P ACCORDING TO THE PROCESS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION, THE OUTPUT POWER OF A GAS LASER IS BROUGHT TO THE MAXIMUM BY: SUPPRESSING THE HIGH-ORDER TRANSVERSE MODES; ENLARGING THE GAIN CURVE TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AXIAL MODES THAT CAN CREATE LASER ACTIVITY IN A LENGTH OF CAVITY AND TO REDUCE THE VARIATION OF POWER DUE TO LONGITUDINAL MODE SCANNING RESULTING FROM THERMAL EFFECTS ON THE THERMAL EFFECTS ON THE THERMAL EFFECTS ON THE THERMAL EFFECTS; BY SUPPRESSING THE DESIRABLE INFRARED LASER ACTIVITY; AND REDUCING THE BEAT NOISE THAT RESULTS FROM THE FREQUENCY OFFSET DUE TO DISPERSION. /P
