Optimization of gain zone reduced fields in rf-excited CO2 lasers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Transversely excited rf capacitive discharges are being increasingly used to excite CO2 lasers1,2 because of their advantages over do discharges in terms of lower voltages, electrodeless construction, greater stability under high power loading, increased operational flexibility, and higher power extraction and efficiency.3 A further advantage is that optimization of performance is facilitated by the availability of the extra variable of rf frequency to which the gain zone electric field is particularly sensitive.4
