Abstract

Kinetically enhanced copper vapor lasers (KE-CVLs) have performance characteristics far exceeding those of conventional devices. Key to the superior performance characteristics of KE-CVLs is the addition of small concentrations of both HCl and H2 to the neon buffer gas. This article discusses experimental results comparing the effects of HCl-H2-Ne and HBr-H2-Ne buffer gas mixtures on laser performance and discusses means by which the gas mixture can be optimized.
