Waveguide CO/sub 2/ laser with 7. 5 W output power

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
A description is given of a cw waveguide CO/sub 2/ laser for which the output power per unit discharge length reached 0.5 W/cm. A combined pumping scheme is discussed, utilizing dc and rf discharge currents. It is noted that the waveguide material (BeO ceramic) participated in the plasma-chemical reactions of the laser active mixture.
