OSTI ID:6507003
A CO/sub 2/ laser oscillator, switch out, and preamplifier system which produces 1 ns pulses of 10.6 ..mu..m light with an energy of about 1 joule was designed and constructed. Commercial CO/sub 2/ TEA devices were used throughout. Alignment was simplified by using a single He-Ne laser and penta prism reflectors on kinematic mounts. Performance of this system as compared with calculations with the Laser Optical Train simulation (LOTS) program is discussed.
