Description

A description is given of the development and performance of a 20-1 cryogenically cooled electric CO laser designed for pulsed operation at pressures up to 1 atm. The gas is excited by an electron-beam-sustained discharge. Output pulse energies in excess of 1 kJ have been observed with a total electrical efficiency of approximately 15 percent.
