“…Neon enables laser oscillation at the highest gas pressure and obtained the highest output power among of them [35]. The weak oscillations are provides with N 2 [36], H 2 , and CO 2 buffers [37]. The Ne buffer gas with adding of H 2 extremely improves CVL performance [38] [39].…”

In order to investigate the effect of the pressure buffer gas and frequency on the output power, a copper vapor laser with active medium length of 60 cm and bore of 16 mm has been operated and optimized using air as a buffer gas. The observed oscillatory behavior of the output power versus frequency is in good agreement with the previous reports. The measured results show the maximum output power of ~1.6W at the optimum pressure of 3.8 torr and frequency of 17 kHz. Abundance of the air and reduction of the system volume due to elimination of the gas handling system as well as the economically benefits are the advantages of the employing air as a buffer gas in the copper vapor laser operation.

“…The next best buffer gas to use, is He, which gives longer and lower discharge current pulses [2]. Weak oscillations are also obtained with N 2 [10], H 2 [11], and CO 2 buffer gases [12]. The addition of H 2 to the Ne buffer gas in the CVL greatly enhances its performance [13,14].…”
