Abstract

The slab-waveguide power-scaling concept has been applied to both carbon dioxide1 and carbon monoxide2 lasers for the efficient extraction of high-power outputs from static-gas, sealed-off compact devices. In such lasers, the volume of the gain medium is increased in proportion to the discharge area, while effective cooling of the gas discharge is facilitated by the proximity of the heat sink surfaces, which also act as the electrodes.
