Abstract

The effect of the inductance in an LC inversion circuit on the stable operating voltage range and output of a TEA CO2 laser has been investigated. The inductance value determines the laser electric/optical energy conversion efficiency and output peak power. In addition, the rate of dissociation of CO2 in the laser discharges was found to depend on the inductance. The observations are shown to be consistent with a change in the value of the ratio of electric field to neutral gas number density, E/N, at which energy is deposited into the discharge.
