Modernization of the pum** generator of a CopperVapor Laser in medical devices

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

The process forming the pum** of a copper vapor laser (CVL) with a small volume of the active medium is considered. Optimization of the pump parameters was found to require selection not only of the capacitances of the storage and peaking capacitors, the voltage across the high-voltage rectifier, and the excitation pulse repetition rate, but also the inductance of the laser discharge circuit develo** the maximum mean generation power. Introduction of an additional inductance to the discharge circuit allows pump efficiency to be doubled. This approach to optimizing pump parameters is applicable to CVL with gas discharge tubes (GDT) with ceramic (Al2O3, BeO) discharge channel diameters of ≤ 14 mm and CuBr lasers with GDT discharge channel diameters of up to ~2–3 cm. Potential to increase pum** efficiency by an order of magnitude and technical means of implementing this are presented.
