摘要：
We have designed a CO2 waveguide laser that can produce pulses with durations of about. 15 µs and pulse energies up to 0.7 mJ, with a maximum laser efficiency of about 1.5 percent, and capable of working at pressures up to about atm. The laser head and the discharge system that excites the laser gas are described. Some physical limitations of the efficiency and the laser energy are also described.
