Enhanced performance of elemental copper-vapor lasers by use of H2–HCl–Ne buffer-gas mixtures

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The output power from a 25-mm-diameter (volume, 0.49 L) and a 40-mm-diameter (volume, 1.9 L) copper-vapor laser (nominally 20- and 65-W devices, respectively) was approximately doubled to >50 and >100 W, respectively, by addition of small partial pressures of both H2 and HCl to the neon buffer gas. The specific output powers of these lasers are believed to be records for any copper-vapor lasers of this size.
