Spatially Resolved Gain Measurements in a CO2 Amplifier
Keyword(s):
Spatially resolved gain measurements at 10.6 μm have been made transverse to the discharge in an axially flowing CO2 laser amplifier. The composition of the amplifier medium has been varied to include initially pure CO2, binary mixtures of CO2:CO, CO2:He, and CO2:N2, and triple mixtures of CO2:N2:He. Strong spatial variations of gain are observed which depend on the gas mixture, flow rate, temperature, pressure, and current. Corresponding spatial intensity profiles of the sidelight emission of CO2 at 4.3 μm are shown.
