CF4 laser oscillator–amplifier measurements: small signal gain and self-absorption

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Some of the fundamental parameters associated with the CF4 optically pumped laser were measured with the aid of an oscillator–amplifier arrangement. The small signal gain for the strongest P-branch line was determined for pure CF4 and for CF4 in the presence of He and CO buffer gases at different pressures. The self-absorption of the laser radiation by CF4 was determined for various P-, Q-, and R-branch lines at several temperatures. The data were used to determine that the loss mechanism for the laser process is associated with hot-band absorption from the 1 ν2 level.
