Electron-beam-pumped lasers using mixtures of Xe, Kr, and Ar with two-component buffer gases
Abstract
Attention is given to beam-pumped high-pressure lasers which use two-component buffer mixtures and emit due to IR transitions in Xe, Kr, and Ar atoms at a current density of 1.7 A/sq cm. Spectral and energy characteristics for various laser mixtures are obtained. Energy output is achieved which is record-high for an He-Ar-Xe laser at a wavelength of 2.03 microns: Q sub 2.03 = 9 J at 1.1-percent efficiency.
