摘要：

This letter discusses operation of an electric discharge excited oxygen-iodine laser using a high-pressure, non-self-sustained pulser-sustainer discharge. Small signal gain on the 1315 nm iodine atom transition and the laser output power are measured in the M=3 supersonic cavity downstream of the discharge section. In a 15% O-2-85% He mixture, at a discharge pressure of 60 torr and discharge power of 1.5 kW, the highest gain measured in the M=3 cavity is 0.022% / cm, at the flow temperature of T = 100 +/- 10 K. At these conditions, the laser output power is 0.28 W. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
