The effect of nonactive cavity zones on the emission spectrum of electroionization CO2 lasers
Abstract
The spectral characteristics of a pulsed-periodic atmospheric-pressure CO2 laser are determined analytically with allowance for selective absorption in the nonactive cavity regions. It is shown that gas heating in these regions can significantly affect the formation of the output emission spectrum. The possibility of controlling the emission spectrum through forced convection in the nonactive zones is examined.
