摘要：
Single mode operation of a TE-CO2laser was Obtained using a 2 × 2 × 30 cm gain module in a Cassegrain resonator with a Gaussian reflectivity convex mirror to produce a fundamental mode of large cross sectional area, and reducing the pressure to 375 torr in a 50 cm long cavity to limit the oscillation to a single longitudinal mode. The 70 ns gain switched pulse (FWHM) had an energy of 175 mJ, a peak power of 2.0 MW, a diffraction limited far-field, and a frequency chirp rate lower than 60 kHz/μS2.
