Abstract

A new repetitively pulsed cryogenically cooled slab RF discharge CO laser running in both fundamental and first-overtone bands without its active medium forced replacement with average output power three times as much as that of previous models was developed. Compared to our previous installations, the output power was increased due to using gold-coated copper electrodes of ∼ 1.5 times larger surface area. The fundamental band free-running lasing was obtained within the spectral range of 5.06–5.92 μm with average output up to ∼ 40 W. Under Q-switching the laser operated in the spectral range of 4.95–7.0 μm with pulsed peak power up to 4.5 kW. The first-overtone band lasing was observed in the spectral range of 2.6–3.05 μm with maximum average power of ∼ 6 W.
