Abstract

We have carried out the experiments on TEA-CO2 laser oscillation using the inductive energy storage pulsed-power generator, which has an copper wire fuse as an opening switch. Maximum laser output energy of about 1J/pulse was obtained in case of fuse length of 5cm and energy storage inductance of 8μH. The laser output energy depends on the energy storage inductance and the parameters of the fuse. In this paper, the dependencies of laser output energy on inductance and fuse length, and the comparison between the inductive and capacitive system were described. Furthermore the laser efficiency was discussed by calculating the electron energy distribution of laser main discharge region.
