Experimental Study of Buffer Gas Flow Rate Effect on Output Power of a Copper Vapor Laser

Abstract: A copper vapor laser with active medium length of 60 cm and bore of 16 mm has been operated and optimized using different buffer gases to investigate the effect of the gas flow rates on the output power. It is found that there is a special optimum gas flow rate associated with the type of buffer gas.

“…VCO-based comparator and quantizer are one of the most important sections of successive approximation ADC and delta-sigma, respectively [5]- [10]. The similarity between electrical oscillators and optical oscillators including lasers [11]- [20] and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) [21]- [33] allows the processes used in optical spectroscopy to be applied. VCO is one of the most difficult circuits to integrate for the following reasons: 1) poor quality factor of the monolithic inductor; 2) limited tuning range of the varactor; and 3) poor flicker noise in CMOS technology compared with the other technologies such as SiGe HBT [34].…”
