Investigation of a transversely excited pulsed copper vapor laser

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
The influence of the gas-discharge parameters on the specific laser output energy and efficiency of a transversely excited copper vapor laser was investigated. For a Cu--Ne mixture, two optimum buffer-gas pressures were found. A maximum specific output energy of 55 ..mu..J/cm/sup 3/ was obtained at an efficiency of 1%. The optimum pulse repetition frequencies for lasing were determined.
