Pulsed strontium vapor laser

An investigation was made of the power characteristics of the laser transitions in strontium atoms and ions under self-heating conditions. The total (over the whole spectrum) average output power was 1.2 W and the efficiency was 0.1% when the repetition frequency of the excitation pulses was 20 kHz in a tube 10 mm in diameter and 380 mm long. About 75% of the output power was concentrated in a line at 6.45 μ.

Investigation of pulse copper-vapor laser

An investigation was made of the characteristics of the pulse copper-vapor laser operated under self-heating conditions. Various gas-discharge tubes were used and the discharge conditions were varied over a wide range. An output power of 6?16?W and efficiency of 0.4?1% were obtained for small-bore tubes.

An investigation of a pulse manganese vapor laser

An investigation was made of a pulse manganese vapor laser operated under self-heating conditions at a high pulse repetition frequency. The output power was determined as a function of gas-discharge conditions. The best output parameters were obtained using helium as a buffer gas: the average output power was found to be 2.1 W, the peak power was 24 kW, and the efficiency was 0.2%.
