Development of megawatt-level narrow-band far-infrared lasers for plasma diagnostics

  • 1. Massachusetts Inst. of Tech., Cambridge

Description

Required megawatt-level 30-MHz linewidth 496-μm radiation for plasma diagnostics may be achieved in CH3F using an oscillator-pulse-amplifier combination employing transverse optical pumping (TOP). It is estimated that an upper limit of 150 J of CO2 laser pump energy is required to produce 1-MW (0.07-J 60-ns) far-infrared (FIR) pulses
