Abstrakt: High beam quality output has been demonstrated from a single medium-scale (2 cm dia. × 50 cm) CuBr laser with hydrogen additives. The addition of hydrogen leads to beam divergence reduction and laser power lift-up finally yielding 5-fold increase in laser power spatial intensity compared with the case of no hydrogen added. With a simple positive-branch unstable resonator practical (pulse-average) divergence of ∼80 μrad is achieved. The easy-feasible sealed-off version of CuBr laser makes it an attractive source for many high-quality laser beam applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
