Pages : 576
Book Description
Lasers with a gaseous active medium offer high flexibility, wide tunability, and advantages in cost, beam quality, and power scalability. Gas lasers have tended to become overshadowed by the recent popularity and proliferation of semiconductor lasers. As a result of this shift in focus, details on modern developments in gas lasers are difficult to find. In addition, different types of gas lasers have unique properties that are not well-described in other references. Collecting expert contributions from authorities dealing with specific types of lasers, Gas Lasers examines the fundamentals, current research, and applications of this important class of laser. It is important to understand all types of lasers, from solid-state to gaseous, before making a decision for any application. This book fills in the gaps by discussing the definition and properties of gaseous media along with its fluid dynamics, electric excitation circuits, and optical resonators. From this foundation, the discussion launches into the basic physics, characteristics, applications, and current research efforts for specific types of gas lasers: CO lasers, CO2 lasers, HF/DF lasers, excimer lasers, iodine lasers, and metal vapor lasers. The final chapter discusses miscellaneous lasers not covered in the previous chapters. Collecting hard-to-find material into a single, convenient source, Gas Lasers offers an encyclopedic survey that helps you approach new applications with a more complete inventory of laser options.

Book Description
A theory is presented which considers either rotational equilibrium or nonequilibrium rate processes in continuous wave (CW) hydrogen fluoride (HF) or deuterium fluoride (DF) lasers. The theory is used to predict zero power gain and power spectral distributions and comparisons are made with experimental observations. The DF reaction kinetics model was found to give predictions of zero power gain which were closely correlated with experimental data. However, the HF reaction kinetics were found to produce radically different zero power gains than experimentally observed. Modifications to the reaction rages of certain vibrational-translational and vibrational-vibrational energy exchange processes were found to remove the discrepancy between the measured and predicted zero power gains. The rotational nonequilibrium theory was used to predict the power spectral distributions for HF and DF lasers and results were found to be consistent with experimental data.
