Rapidly tunable CO/sub 2/ TEA laser
Journal Article
·
· Appl. Opt.; (United States)
The new method described in this publication has demonstrated rapid and accurate random access tuning over seventy CO/sub 2/ TEA laser lines. The technique described here uses a continuously rotating grating and a wavelength selection based on the exact firing time of the TEA laser with respect to the angular position of the grating. The angular position of the grating determined by an angular encoder. The faceted grating structure is driven by a synchronous motor at a speed of 1000 rpm. The TEA laser is accurately triggered once for each facet of the grating structure.
