Popis: | A train of high power (up to 160 W) Q‐switched pulses at up to 1 kHz were continuously produced from a CW solar‐simulator pumped iodine laser system. The Q‐switching was accomplished by a fast mechanical chopper in the laser cavity and is the first reported Q‐switching of a CW iodine laser. The dependence of CW and Q‐switched laser powers on parameters such as the iodide vapor pressure, the flow rate, and the chopper speed are discussed. |
