High power and high focusing CWCO2 laser using anunstable resonator with a phase-unifying output coupler

A high-power and high-focusing continuous-wave (CW) CO₂ laser with a novel unstable resonator was developed. This resonator contains a step-wise variable reflecting output coupler named the phase-unifying output coupler and a total reflector. The laser was excited by a capacitive-barriered AC discharge called a silent discharge. A linearly polarized laser beam with a diffraction-limited divergence angle of 0.55 mrad was obtained. Very stable CW laser operation at an output power of 5 kW was achieved with a threshold discharge power of 10 kW and a slope efficiency of 18%     

RF-pumped infrared laser using transverse gas flow

A transverse gas flow configuration has been developed utilizing RF discharge waveguide technology for several infrared lasers. Two potential applications have been identified: pulsed chemical laser and CW CO2laser. In the 3.8 μm DF laser, the flowing gas device provides rapid gas replenishment to maintain high electrical efficiency at high repetition rates. An average power of 0.6 W was achieved at 1 kHz. An order of magnitude power improvement can potentially be developed in a closed cycle system. In the CW CO2laser, the flowing gas provides efficient cooling so that high output power per unit gain length can be achieved. A 16 W output in a 20 cm gain length device, corresponding to a record 0.8 W/cm output has been demonstrated. This system can be developed into a 20-60 W laser with a 20-50 cm gain length.     

Operational characteristics of a TE CW CO2laser with a DC auxiliary discharge

This paper describes a TE CW CO2laser with a special gas flow scheme and an auxiliary discharge configuration. In this laser system, mixed gas was forced to flow through a structure of square tubes with meshes on both sides. An array of auxiliary electrodes was added to produce a dc auxiliary discharge between these electrodes and a tubular cathode. By introducing these structures, uniformity and stability of the main discharge could be significantly improved, and more electrical input power could be deposited into the laser gases at higher pressures and higher discharge currents. An output power exceeding 3000 W/m was obtained at a gas mixture of CO:CO2:N2:He = 4:10:25:40 and a total pressure of 7.9 kPa. Without the auxiliary discharge, the maximum output power was less than 1600 W/m, and a stable discharge could not be obtained at a pressure above 4 kPa. The spatial distributions of unsaturated gain along the direction of gas flow and contours with constant gain were also drawn. By introducing molecular sieve 3A, the system could be operated continously over 15 h under sealed-off conditions.     

高频激励波导CO_2激光器

一、前言七十年代初出现了波导CO_2激光器。由于它可以实现频率调谐,在雷达、通讯、测污及光谱学等方面得到广泛应用,而引起人们的极大重视。前期的器件多采用纵向直流激励。因为这种激励方式是一般的连续波CO_2激光器通常所采用的,所以它在工艺上比较成熟,容易实现。但根据放电特性,波导激光器采用它则需要0.5～1.5 kV/cm的高电压及100kΩ/cm的镇流电阻,因此需要考虑采用多段并联放电。这样的放电带来的困难是:各段不易同时着火,要有严格的高压绝缘措施。此外,还有由于镇流电阻耗散大部分功率而使总效率低及由于阴极溅散污染反射镜和放电区而使器件寿命下降等问题。采用横向高频放电,上述一些困难及问题得到克服。放电电压降到100～200V,建立和维持放电都变得比较容易;镇流电阻为零也能稳定地放电,
