A continuous wave carbon dioxide laser is characterized. The laser used is a slow axial-flow CW CO2 laser with an electrode-to-electrode distance of 63 cm and with a gas mixture composed of C02: N2: Heat at partial pressure ratio of 1:1:8. The output power and efficiency of the laser are determined...
