A parametric study of a transverse gas flow TEA CO2 laser

A transverse gas flow TEA C0₂ laser has been constructed and the use of a perforated hollow rod to serve simultaneously as the cathode of the discharge and the gas inlet vessel was successfully demonstrated. The electrical efficiency of the laser is typically 3% with peak powers of 40 kw being emit...
