We present the measurements made on a medium power, 35 cm long, radiofrequency discharge CO2 stab laser operated in a pulsed regime obtained by switching the RF discharge. In this way, pulses with peak power up to 480 W at pulse repetition frequencies in the range 1 to 10 kHz have been obtained. Pulse energy and average extracted power have been experimentally characterized with respect to the pulse repetition frequency and to the pulse duration, and the pulse shape and characteristic times have been measured. We also investigated the propagation properties of the beam emerging from our laser. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

Abstract
We present the measurements made on a medium power, 35 cm long, radiofrequency discharge CO2 stab laser operated in a pulsed regime obtained by switching the RF discharge. In this way, pulses with peak power up to 480 W at pulse repetition frequencies in the range 1 to 10 kHz have been obtained. Pulse energy and average extracted power have been experimentally characterized with respect to the pulse repetition frequency and to the pulse duration, and the pulse shape and characteristic times have been measured. We also investigated the propagation properties of the beam emerging from our laser. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
