OSTI ID:5630532
This patent describes laser apparatus. It comprises laser means confining a laser medium including copper vapor within an elongated structure; first reflector disposed near an end of the elongated structure of the laser means to substantially completely reflect radiation from the end of the laser medium back to the laser medium; a polarizer disposed near the other end of the elongated structure for segregating an incident beam of radiation from the other end of the laser medium into first and second separate beams of radiation, with the first beam including radiation polarized in substantially only one orientation and with the second beam including radiation polarized in substantially only another orientation different from the one orientation; second reflector means disposed within the first beam for substantially completely reflecting the first beam back through the polarizer to the laser medium; and partial reflector means disposed in the second beam to transmit a portion of an incident beam therethrough and to reflect another portion of an incident beam back through the polarizer to the laser medium.
