Laser Properties of Improved TE N2 Laser

Abstract

A transversely excited N2 laser has been constructed. Many improvements have been made on this new laser. The space between electrodes, the position of the spark-gap on the condenser bank, the gas pressure of nitrogen and the length of the discharge tube been made variable. The maximum output power (330KW) and the energy efficiency (0.28%) were obtained at a repitition rate of 5 Hz when the electrodes of channel space 24 mm apart.
