HIGH-FREQUENCY EXCITED CO WAVEGUIDE LASER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: quantum electronics; manufacture of high-frequency excited single-channel carbon dioxide waveguide lasers.

SUBSTANCE: proposed laser has two channels of which first one functions as discharge channel, as well as high-reflection and light-splitting mirrors installed at ends of discharge channel. Each channel is bound on opposite ends with extreme and central electrodes and on two other ends, with insulating wafers. One of extreme electrodes has rectangular longitudinal slot of depth L ≥ 1.5h and width H ≥ h + 1 to form insulating space together with closest second channel holding additional working gas supply, where h is discharge channel width.

EFFECT: enhanced operating efficiency, reliability, and mechanical design stability of laser.
