| Abstract |
A longitudinal discharge heated copper vapor laser with internal diameter 28 mm and discharge length 1.3 m has been constructed and tested. At the discharging voltage 15.2 kV, pulse repetition rate 10 kHz, buffer gas pressure 40 mbar, and internal temperature of the laser plasma tube 1520°C, it delivers more than 30 W average laser outputs. |
