  • Abstract
    The characteristics of a CW water vapor laser operating at 118 and 28 μm are reported. By monitoring the discharge current, helium gas pressure, and water vapor pressure, a criterion for optimum power output has been obtained. Peak powers of 6 and 114 mW are obtained, respectively, for the 118 and 28 μm lines for a 4.5 m discharge tube.
