Abstract:

We present the results of our experimental study of pumping nitrogen (λ = 337.1 nm) and CO₂ (λ = 10.6 mm) lasers by a longitudinal discharge. The discharge was generated by a generator with an inductive energy storage and a semiconductor opening switch. The power and temporal output characteristics of the lasers are presented. The oscillograms and dependences have been obtained that characterize different modes of laser operation. A model for calculating voltage and current in the discharge circuit as well as energy deposition and losses in the opening switch is described. The calculated results are in close agreement with the experimental data.
