| Popis: | The aim of this work is to report the achievement of a light weight, compact, high power CO2 laser which can be used in industry. The construction and operation of a CO2 gas transport laser with cylindrical geometry and two parallel electrical discharges are presented. Using a 600 mm diameter, 1400 mm length, 250 kg laser head, we have obtained more than 1.6 kW laser power with 2% stability and 2 mrad full angle divergence. For comparison the results are presented for one electrical discharge laser. |
