Summary
The gas flow rate has resulted very important to get high power in a CO2 diffusion-cooled laser. Some measurements suggest that the power dependence on the flow is connected with the chemical dissociation of the components of the gas mixture. Four different gas circuits have been experimented.
Riassunto
La potenza emessa da un laser a CO2 è risultata strettamente dipendente dalla velocità del flusso di gas. Alcune misure suggeriscono che questa dipendenza sia legata alla dissociazione chimica delle molecole componenti la miscela di gas. Sono stati anche sperimentati quattro diversi assetti del circuito del gas.
Резюме
Величина потока газа очень сильно влияет на получение большой мощности в CO2 лазера. Измерения предполагают, что степенная зависимость от потока связана с химической диссоциацией компонент газовой смеси. Проводятся эксперименты для четырех различных газовых контуров.
