Push-Pull Pulsed Gas Laser.

Abstract

A push-pull pulsed gas laser which utilizes piston action to displace a laser gas from the laser cavity to a heat exchanger and return of the gas to the laser cavity between laser pulses to significantly reduce the volume of gas required for repetitively pulsed gas lasers and to reduce the average power required to recondition the laser gas.
