Transverse CO2 Laser Two-Dimensional Gain Distributions

Abstract

Using one-dimensional gas flows and quasi-two-dimensional electrical discharge models, we calculated the two-dimensional gain curve contour lines for equal values on perpendicular electrode planes. We studied the electrical discharge area gas flow speeds and electrical discharge parameters as well as gas constituents and similar items and their effects on the rules or patterns of changes along the direction of the gas flow. As far as each gas pressure is concerned, they had flow speed ranges which corresponded to optimum gain curves. We took calculation results and experimental results and carried out a comparison.
