Description

A compact repetitively pulsed cryogenically cooled slab RF discharge CO laser with double path V-type laser resonator equipped with external Q -switching system based on rotating mirror was developed and studied. The laser produced mid-IR ( λ ∼ 5–7 µ m) radiation pulses of ∼1 ÷ 2 µ s duration (FWHM), peak power up to ∼3 kW, and pulse repetition rate up to 130 Hz. Averaged output laser power reached 0.5 W, the laser spectrum consisted of ∼80 laser lines with individual peak power up to 80 W. (letter)
