A compact CW HCN gas laser with RF-excited discharge
Abstract
An RF-excited CW HCN waveguide gas laser is described. Output power of about 107 mW at a wavelength of 337 microns is obtained using a 1 m long tube. The comparison between the RF-excited discharge laser and the dc-excited laser is also presented.
