The Design of a High-Pressure Multi-Kilowatt CO2 Laser,

Abstract

This report describes the design of a multi-kilowatt electric-discharge CO2 laser which has been constructed at MRL. This laser, which utilises Plasma injection, operates at the relatively high pressure of 30 kPa (0.3 atm). and delivers a continuous output power of 7.5 kW at an efficiency of 10%. (Author)
