A frequency stabilized waveguide CO2-laser for photoacoustic spectroscopy of gases
A theoretical model of a waveguide CO2-laser was made to optimize the dimensions of the waveguide tube and resonator, i.e., to obtain the best mode structure while maximizing the output power. The results were used to design and build the laser itself around a quartz waveguide tube of 25.5 cm and 3...
