Abstract
The amplitude and time behavior of the pulsed output from a 10.6‐μ CO2–N2–He laser is investigated as a function of partial gas pressures and discharge current. Nearly two orders of magnitude increase in output power is obtained compared to CW operation. The time behavior of the laser pulse indicates that electron excitation processes dominate in populating the upper laser level.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
