Energy-dependent losses of high-power laser radiation in liquid nitrogen

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We observed energy-dependent losses in the transmission of high-power CO2 and HF laser radiation in liquid nitrogen resulting from scattering on small gas bubbles. The formation of these bubbles can be explained by a mechanism involving absorption of a small part of the laser radiation by microscopic suspended ice particles that leads to the evaporation of the surrounding cryogenic liquid. Even for a low concentration of these particles, the losses are significant.
