Effect of 02 on the CO Laser Performance.

Abstract

As the O2 concentration is increased from zero, the CO laser output power rises to a maximum and declines. This variation is correlated to a decrease in gas discharge kinetic temperature to a minimum followed by an increase for the same variation in O2 concentration. (Author)
