Abstract

The paper presents the use of H₂ admixed to the neon buffer gas for efficient high beam quality in copper vapor lasers. It was observed that addition of H₂ to the neon gas changes favorably the pulse duration and spatial characteristics of the seed radiation. This resulted to increase in laser output power from 5.7 W to 9.6 W.
