Switch-on delay time of a CW HCN laser
The delay time between the dc discharge switch-on and the appearance of the 337 μm HCN laser power is measured for different gas mixtures containing H, C and N. The delay time for a discharge with (H2+(CN)2) gas mixture is one to two orders of magnitude shorter than for all other gas mixtures, but o...

Summary: | The delay time between the dc discharge switch-on and the appearance of the 337 μm HCN laser power is measured for different gas mixtures containing H, C and N. The delay time for a discharge with (H2+(CN)2) gas mixture is one to two orders of magnitude shorter than for all other gas mixtures, but one order of magnitude longer than for pre-excited gases. |
