On producing a CO2-laser medium for high output with an electric discharge in a supersonic flow
Abstract
The output of a carbon dioxide laser was increased by applying electric charges in a supersonic laser gas flow. The fundamentals of a carbon dioxide laser with electric excitation are presented, and experimental design, the measuring equipment, and the measuring results are discussed.
