Controlling kinetic parameters of 100 W large bore copper vapor lasers
Abstract
A self consistent computer model is used to extract controlling kinetic parameters of large bore (6 to 8 cm diameter) 60 to 100 W copper vapor lasers. Optimum conditions for upper laser level discharge pumping, lower level deactivation and volumetric scaling of these high repetition rate lasers are discussed.
