Abstract

A high-power CO2 laser is being constructed to measure the velocity distribution of alpha particles in a burning plasma. The laser system is being designed around a Lumonics 602 TEA CO2 laser. A low-pressure cell will be placed in the unstable resonator cavity to produce a long-pulse, narrow-linewidth beam. Details of the laser design will be presented. This research was supported by the Office of Fusion Energy, U.S. DOE, under Contract No. DE-AC05-840R21400 with Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc.
