High-efficiency diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) slab laser.
J E Bernard,A. J. Alcock +1 more
TL;DR: Optical-to-optical conversion efficiencies of as high as 32% with a slope efficiency of 44% were obtained with a novel diode-bar, side-pumped laser cavity design and aperturing effects by the laser rod were found to limit the effects of nonuniform gain on the laser mode.
Journal Article
Continuously tunable high-pressure CO2 laser with uv photopreionization
TL;DR: In this article, the operation of a photo-initiated tranverse-discharge CO2 laser has been investigated at pressures up to 15 atm, achieving a maximum output of [inverted lazy s] 1 J in 30 nsec.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continuously tunable high‐pressure CO2 laser with uv photopreionization
TL;DR: In this paper, the operation of a photo-initiated tranverse-discharge CO2 laser has been investigated at pressures up to 15 atm, achieving a maximum output of [inverted lazy s] 1 J in 30 nsec.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large aperture CO 2 laser discharges
TL;DR: In this article, a weak volumetric preionization of the active gas region produced by UV radiation has been used to generate atmospheric-pressure CO 2 laser discharges between electrodes separated by 30 cm, having total cross sections of ∼600 cm2.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 300-J multigigawatt CO 2 laser
TL;DR: In this article, a transverse electric discharge scheme has been proposed for large volumes of CO 2, N 2, and He mixtures with beam cross sections up to 60 cm2in area.
