  • Abstract
    A pulsed-waveguide CO2laser is described for which no electronic pulser is required because the discharge properties of the waveguide laser and the external resistance and capacitance form a relaxation oscillator. Peak powers of 15 W were obtained at repetition rates up to 20 kHz for the 10-cm discharge.
