Cu/CuCl vapor lasers with flowing buffer gas
Some types of copper vapor lasers using copper chloride as a lasant and flowing neon as buffer gas are reported. Two kinds of high repetition pulsed electric circuits have been used with an energy storage capacitor discharging: (1) directly through a laser tube, (2) through a pulsed transformer for output coupling. The maximum output power of a laser tube of 2.5 cm in diameter and electrode separation of 50 cm is 2.4W and the peak power 29 KW. The maximum output power of a laser tube of 1.1 em diameter and electrode separation of 30 cm is 1 W, and the peak power 5 KW, and it operates at an average power of 0.5 W for an accumulative period of about 100 hrs.
