Improved CW power characteristics of HCN laser system at 337 μm
Abstract
An extensive experimental investigation of the CW output power characteristics of several striated HCN laser systems has been performed at given pressure, flow rate and discharge tube temperature with regulated currents ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 A. Some of the laser media studied have been found to produce output power levels higher than generally expected for popular gaseous fuel mixtures.
