Numerical analysis of parameters of self-heating copper vapor lasers

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6211993
Numerical analysis is employed to find operating modes of self-heating copper vapor lasers with discharge tubes of different diameters, in which the coefficient of conversion of the discharge input energy to lasing energy and the average lasing power are near maximum. The optimum buffer gas pressure, discharge tube diameter, pulse recurrence rate and excitation pulse length are analyzed. The results of various studies on the optimum excitation pulse recurrence rate are compared, and the causes for reduced lasing power over time are identified.
