Gas discharge lasers
Abstract
Gas discharge lasers are discussed with reference to the theoretical principles underlying their operation, costruction and design, performance characteristics, fabrication, and applications. The types of gas discharge lasers considered include lasers operating at atomic and molecular transitions, ion lasers, and pulsed gas discharge lasers. Particular attention is given to the most widely used types of lasers, such as He-Ne, argon-ion, and CO2 lasers. Finally, safety rules to be observed in working with lasers are discussed.
