Hochuli, U. ; Sciacca, T.
Abstract :
Proper cold cathode materials and gas mixtures are the key elements to long life sealed off CO2lasers. A typical requirement for spare applications is a 1 Watt sealed off CO2laser operating for 10,000 hours with a quiet, clean and reproducible cold cathode from a total gas volume of only 50 cm3.
