Direct nuclear pumped laser approaching feedback laser fusion needs
Abstract
A direct nuclear pumped laser in which the lasing output is delayed for relatively long times (milliseconds) with respect to nuclear excitation is described. The laser operates at 1.45 microns in gas mixtures of He-CO and He-CO2. The nuclear pumping process is also described.
