  • Abstract
    An all-hot copper iodide laser is described which operates at pulse repetition rates up to 18 kHz. Laser emission occurs from the 5106 Å (4p 2P3/2 → 4s2 2D5/2) and 5782 Å (4p 2p1/2 → 492 2D3/2) transitions in atomic copper. Near the optimum pulse repetition rate of 6 kHz, Laser output energies of 60 μJ per pulse were measured in a burst mode from a 2.0 cm3 discharge volume. This corresponds to 0.18 W cm-3 quasi-continuous laser emission from the discharge tube.
