CO sub 2 lasers and applications; Proceedings of the Meeting, Los Angeles, CA, Jan. 17, 18, 1989
Recent advances in CO{sub 2} laser technology are discussed in reviews and reports. Topics examined include gain and power predictions, the discharge and output characteristics of a CW CO{sub 2} laser with auxiliary glow-dc discharge, wave-optics codes for the design and diagnostics of CO{sub 2} optical systems, military applications of CO{sub 2} waveguide lasers, and chirp measurements on a 10-J pulsed CO{sub 2} oscillator. Consideration is given to CO{sub 2} laser gain and energy extraction using C-12 and C-13 isotopes, laser-beam command guidance, gas-jet effects on laser cutting, and a galvanometric scanner for rapid tuning of CO{sub 2} lasers. Diagrams, drawings, graphs, and photographs are provided.
