Reduction of operating pressure for continuous frequency tuning in transversely excited high-pressure CO(2) lasers.
Continuous frequency tuning of a transversely excited CO(2) laser was achieved for the 10-microm R branch with conventional gas mixtures at pressures as low as 5 atm. Tuning and spectral characteristics analyzed as a function of pressure are presented together with output energy characteristics.
