Abstract

The principle and method of high power CO₂ laser excited by switching power have been proposed. In the traditional transverse flow pin-plate CO₂ laser, a high frequency switching power was overlapped on the DC discharge to obtain uniform discharge. Experimental results show that this new excited technique can improve the discharge stability, and modulate the laser output. The new method is also profitable for minimization and industrial applications of high power transverse flow CO₂ laser.
