Abstract:
Results of studies of high-power pulse-periodic electroionization CO2 laser radiation characteristics are presented. To generate the e-beam, controlling a gas discharge, an accelerator with plasma emitter of electrons based on the low-pressure glow discharge with a hollow cathode and anode was used, which allowed a sharp increase of the e-beam current and control for its duration. The laser pulse duration varied in a range 300-1200 s. An energy of 200 J and an efficiency of 18% were obtained. Optimal conditions for pumping, generation, and focusing laser radiation were determined.
