Abstract

Modern high power industrial CO₂ lasers are the result of decades of technological advancements aimed to improve laser parameters such as gain and saturation intensity to obtain the best power extraction efficiency. In this paper a resonator optimization approach is presented that includes laser power stability as one of the criteria for selecting the best configuration. This approach is applied to a hybrid stable-unstable annular RF excited CO₂ laser.
