Abstract
We have carried out experiments on TEA-CO2 laser oscillation using the inductive energy storage pulsed-power generator, which has a copper wire fuse as an opening switch. Maximum laser output energy of about 1 J/pulse was obtained in the case of a fuse length of 5 cm and energy storage inductance of 8 μH. 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 a 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. © 2000 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 132(1): 15–21, 2000
