Pulse-periodic HF induction-type discharge for pumping lasers on self-terminating transitions
We present the results of numerical investigation regarding the physical processes in the working medium of a copper vapour laser pumped by trains of high-frequency (ftr≈30 MHz) current oscillations with f≈10 kHz repetition rates. An electrodeless discharge achieved by employment of an induction-typ...

Summary: | We present the results of numerical investigation regarding the physical processes in the working medium of a copper vapour laser pumped by trains of high-frequency (ftr≈30 MHz) current oscillations with f≈10 kHz repetition rates. An electrodeless discharge achieved by employment of an induction-type process, which is new for this type of lasers, was considered. Elimination of the electrodes in the design of such inductive copper vapour laser will, in principle, provide a means to increase the lifetime and reliability of sealed discharge tubes and reduce their costs. |
