Low Pressure Loss Cavity for Repetitively Pulsed Electric Discharge Lasers.
Abstract
A low pressure loss cavity is shown experimentally and theoretically to be a viable concept for repetitively pulsed electric discharge lasers. Proper treatment of the acoustic waves traveling upstream as well as downstream has led to high gas mass utilization and high pulse repetition rates. The concept proven on the Humdinger Jr. device having an optical cavity of 4 cm by 100 cm is shown to be scalable to larger optical cavity volumes. (Author)
