Development of a multiatmosphere UV-preionized carbon dioxide laser amplifier

A compact, high-pressure, UV-preionized TE CO₂ laser amplifier was designed and constructed. The amplifier uses a novel LC inversion circuit, with a single spark gap initiating both the main discharge and the preionization. The electrical and gain characteristics were studied over a range of pressur...
