Copper Vapor Generator
Abstract
The development of an efficient high flow velocity copper vapor generator, as a source for a copper vapor laser, is described. Generator operating times of several hours and copper densities within the laser cavity of the order of 10 to the 17th power atoms/cc are also reported. Copper vapor lasers have been operated with this source using both longitudinal and transverse discharges. Almost 0.1 j/l of laser excitation has been obtained at vapor densities of only 4 x 10 to the 14th power copper atoms/cc. This represents lasing more than 33 percent of the available copper atoms.
