Experimental Optimization of the Output Power of a Copper Vapor Laser Using Air as a Buffer Gas
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to investigate the effect of the pressure buffer gas and frequency on the output power, a copper vapor laser with active medium length of 60 cm and bore of 16 mm has been operated and optimized using air as a buffer gas. The observed oscillatory behavior of the output power versus frequency is in good agreement with the previous reports. The measured results show the maximum output power of ~1.6W at the optimum pressure of 3.8 torr and frequency of 17 kHz. Abundance of the air and reduction of the system volume due to elimination of the gas handling system as well as the economically benefits are the advantages of the employing air as a buffer gas in the copper vapor laser operation.

We report the performance of a kinetically enhanced copper-vapor laser of active dimensions 32-mm inner diameter by 1-m long as a function of the plasma tube thermal insulation. By reducing the insulation to levels much lower than typically used for conventional copper-vapor lasers, the input power for maximum steady-state output increased from 5.9 to 7.4 kW, whereas the laser wall-plug efficie...
