Description
This high-power copper-vapor laser is applied as a dye-laser excitation source for atomic vapor laser isotope separation. To combine a high power with a high directivity, a MOPA (master oscillator power amplifier) chain-system configuration was chosen. The thermal and electrical characteristics of copper-vapor lasers and the amplification and directivity of the MOPA system have been established. So far it has been possible to achieve a 117W output with an efficiency of 1.51% from a single unit and a 292W output from the MOPA chain. (author)
