High Frequency Excitation of CO2 Lasers

  • Conference paper
Laser/Optoelektronik in der Technik / Laser/Optoelectronics in Engineering

Abstract

In the field of material processing there is an increassing need for compact high power CO2 lasers which are pulsable in the 10- or even 100 kHz range. In d.c.-excited systems compactness is limited by the achievable power density of about 10 Wcm-3, whereas the maximal pulse frequency does not exceed the kHz region.
