A long-pulse, high-energy, narrow-band width CO2 lasers for doppler wind LIDAR Applications

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

In this paper the realization is described of CO2 laser with high energy (≈10J/pulse), long pulses (≈2μs) and narrow bandwidth (≈200 kHz), using suitable discharge device (Lumonics 602) and cavity configuration (modified self-filtering unstable resonator). The theoretical considerations which led to these choices are also discussed and the results obtained are shown.
