Development of megawatt-level narrow-band far-infrared lasers for plasma diagnostics

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech.; (United States)
Required megawatt-level 30-MHz linewidth 496-..mu..m radiation for plasma diagnostics may be achieved in CH/sub 3/F using an oscillator-pulse-amplifier combination employing transverse optical pumping (TOP). It is estimated that an upper limit of 150 J of CO/sub 2/ laser pump energy is required to produce 1-MW (0.07-J 60-ns) far-infrared (FIR) pulses.
