Abstract
A gas dynamic CO2 laser (GDL) gives a high power output in 10 μm region. Because of recent evolution of CO2 laser in material processing industries, high power laser systems of 100 kW or more are expected to be developed. GDL is one of the most promissing lasers from this view point. Since 1970's, our research laboratory has been promoting novel combustion driven GDL technologies including gas phase, liquid phase, and solid state phase fuel/oxidizers. This paper describes current developments of high power gas dynamic CO2 lasers for understanding its potentiality to make powerful compact laser sources.
