چکیده

We report here the operation of a UV pre-ionised mini-TEA CO2 laser where the use of an external switch has been dispensed with. This was rendered possible by making the preioniser spark array play a dual role- that of a switch as well as of a source of UV photons that pre-conditioned the inter-electrode volume.

Predicting gas decomposition in an industrialised pulsed CO2 laser

A model is developed for the breakdown and regeneration of component gases in an industrialised TEA CO2 laser, both with and without internal catalysts, and is found to be in excellent agreement with experimental data. The laser was found to be stable at 02 levels in excess of 2%, whereas previously reported values suggest stable operation at values of less than 1%. This is thought to be relate...

A 10 cm APERTURE, HIGH QUALITY TEA CO 2 LASER

Experiments have been performed on a corona preionization type 10 cm aperture TEA CO2 laser. For a CO2 : N2 : He = 1 : 1 : 7 mixture an output energy of 34 joule per liter and for a 1 : 1 : 10 mixture 40 joule per liter could be obtained. The overall efficiency is about 18%. The time behaviour of the current and voltage of the system shows a delay of several hundreds of nanoseconds after the pr...

لیزر Ce:Nd:YAG با دمش دیود نورگسیل و سوییچ Q انفعالی

The experimental study of passively Q-switched, LED-pumped Ce:Nd:YAG laser is reported. The active medium is a 3 mm diameter laser rod with 60 mm length; it is optically pumped with four segments of blue LEDs at 460 nm, with each segment consisting of 32 single LEDs. The 14 cm length optical resonator with 2 dielectric mirrors and the reflectivity of 99 and 93 percent at 1064 nm produced more t...

1.7MW Nd:YAG Laser Pulse Generation by A Passive BDN Q-switch

This paper describes the passive Qswitch, based on polymer and organic dye BDN, of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Pulses of 27ns duration and peak power of 1.7MW for initial transmission of Q-switch 18.4% 0 T = have been obtained. We have obtained Q-switching efficiency of 77% for train of pulses of 31 and 76.2% 0 T = at the pump energy of 98J. We have also obtained the dependency of laser pulse charac...
