  • Abstract
    The data and results of an extended investigation of the more salient parameters associated with the application of ultraviolet (UV) photoionization processes in TEA CO2lasers are presented. The study encompasses emission spectra, wavelength dependence, and influence of circuit parameters for a typical UV spark source. This investigation and a companion study utilizing a specialized charge collection apparatus on a monochromator provides further insight into the primary mechanisms involved in these photoinitiated laser devices and has, in addition, provided design criteria for the development of more efficient photoionization sources.
