High-power self-controlled volume-discharge-based molecular lasers

Abstract: An investigation is made of the characteristics of the formation of a self-controlled volume discharge for pumping CO 2 lasers, i.e., self-sustained volume discharge (SSVD), which involves the preliminary filling of a discharge gap by an electron flux from an auxiliary discharge plasma. It is determined that this method is suitable for large interelectrode gaps, that distortion of the electric field in the gap by the space charge of the electron flux plays an important role in the formation of the discharge, t… Show more

“…This igure re lects the data we obtained using setups with different volumes of active medium. This allows us to predict the possibility of further increases to the output energy of non-chain HF (DF) lasers through the creation of setups that operate at energy deposi tions above a few tens of kJ using the methods we developed during that very productive period of time [33,34].…”

“…The electrode structures are all shown in Fig.2 where the lateral UV sparks are omitted. Stable pulsed discharge in much wider discharge gap could be realized by the scheme of UV preionization beneath mesh electrode, [9] for the distance between the UV radiation source and the main discharge zone is much shorter than the lateral preionization scheme. Two systems with 70 mm gap were established.…”

This allows us to predict the possibility of further increases to the output energy of non-chain HF (DF) lasers through the creation of setups that operate at energy depositions above a few tens of kJ using the methods we developed during that very productive period of time [30][31][32]. and S I Zienko.…”
