摘要
Experimental studies of a rotating-mirror Q-switched CO2 laser have been undertaken to obtain high peak powers at l0.6-μ wavelength. The Q-switched pulse has a temporal structure consisting of two intensity peaks and is similar to the temporal behavior of a slow Q-switched CO2 laser. Based on the gas pressure dependence it appears that the pulse structure and duration are influenced by collision-induced relaxations of the laser medium. Using an oscillator-amplifier system peak powers of 120 kW with pulsewidths of 200 ns have been obtained. Copyright © 1969, by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
