  • Abstract
    By adjusting the proportions of CO2and N2in a TEA laser gas mixture and by also adjusting the coupling losses of the optical resonator, it is shown that the same laser system can produce laser outputs of relatively uniform energy but with pulse lengths adjustable from 0.05 \\to 50 \\mu s.
