Abstract
The addition of xenon to helium, nitrogen CO2 gas mixtures is shown to increase output power by 24% in sealed‐off rf excited waveguide carbon dioxide lasers. Experiments with a range of laser output couplers indicate that this improvement is due to a corresponding increase in small signal gain, with the saturation intensity remaining fairly constant.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
