摘要
The long-term operation of a 1 kHz, 500 W transversely excited atmospheric CO2 laser has been realized by using an all-solid-state exciter. The laser system consisted of a fast-gas-flow tunnel containing a discharge head, a pulsed power supply made of an all-solid-state exciter, and a gas regenerator with a gas analyser. The energy transfer efficiency of the exciter was 65% and an overall laser efficiency of 5.2% was obtained. Continuous operation of more than 10(7) shots has been achieved for sealed-off conditions.
