Beam control of a TEA-CO2 laser by an intracavity liquid crystal modulator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present here the results of investigations of a compact TEA-CO2 laser with different types of intracavity LC modulator, based on cholesteric-nematic transition (CNT), The principle of modulation consists of changing intracavity losses during LC transition from confocal cholesterical structure (with high light scattering) to netnatic structure (low light scattering) with increased electric field.
