LASER FLASH LAMP.

Abstract

Flash lamps for pumping laser rods can be made in a variety of forms and operated under widely varying electrical circuit conditions. It is the object of this study to attempt to optimize some of the variables: Two avenues of approach are pursued, one being on opacity measurement to discover what gains in principle are to be gotten by doping, and the other a series of trials in which lamps of sturdier than usual structure are tested to their destructive limit. These avenues are discussed separately under the headings, 'Absorption Measurements' and 'Claesson-Type Lamps'.
