Closed cycle annular-return gas flow electrical discharge laser
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5767860
A closed cycle, high repetition pulsed laser is disclosed that has a laser flow channel with an annular flow return surrounding the laser flow channel. Ultra high vacuum components and low out-gassing materials are used in the device. An externally driven axial flow fan is used for gas recirculation. A thyratron-switched lowinductance energy storage capacitor is used to provide a transverse discharge between profiled electrodes in the laser cavity.
