- Title
On the Possibility of Increasing the Efficiency of Sealed-Off Nitrogen Lasers.
- Authors
Fedorov, A. I.
- Abstract
A sealed-off nitrogen laser operating in a periodic-pulse regime at a repetition rate of 40 Hz has been experimentally studied and it is demonstrated that the laser efficiency can be increased by quasi-stationary energy pumping into the active medium (pure nitrogen or its mixtures with helium or neon). The presence of a buffer gas (helium or neon) allows the energy parameters of radiation to be increased and the laser efficiency to be controlled. A small-sized sealed-off nitrogen laser is developed, which operates at a peak output power of 160 kW and a pulse energy of 0.8 mJ with an efficiency of 0.27%. © 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
