Abstract

A strategy was developed for extending the limits of power scaling of copper vapor lasers (CVD) through the use of trace gas additives in the laser mixture to moderate key plasma kinetic processes so as to create the most favorable laser excitation conditions. For kinetic enhancement using HCl, output power increases for small-to-medium scale CVDs of a factor of 3, to 150 W were observed.
