CO_2 Lasers
The electric-pulse CO2 laser with UV preionized module "Katran" for laser-chemical research. It permits the rearrangement on generation lines in wide range of P- R- branches. Eu = 30 J, τu = 30 ns.

The pulsed electric-discharge CO2 laser with “Whale” laser beam preionization. Eu= 500 J, τu = 1.5 ms. It has a selective resonator, which can be tuned by generation lines in a wide range. The laser can work in both generation and amplification modes. It can be used as the amplifying unit to obtain pulse energy in the scale of 0.5 kJ. | |
