Factors limiting the pulse repetition frequency in pulse-periodic CO/sub 2/ lasers are discussed and an analysis is made of their operating efficiency. Experiments are reported on model systems with different laser mixture flow rates. A description is given of a pulse-periodic CO/sub 2/ laser having an average radiation power of 1.2 kW designed to obtain weighable amounts of isotopically pure substances.
