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
