Copper bromide laser of 120-W average output power

A Ne-H/sub 2/-CuBr laser (/spl lambda/510.6, 578.2 nm) is reported, which produced an average output power of 120 W at 2.5% efficiency (based on stored energy) and 100 W at 3% efficiency. These output power and efficiency figures are record values for copper bromide lasers. The sealed-off device produced maximum output power at a pulse recurrency frequency (PRF) of 17.5 kHz. Laser operating characteristics and electrical parameters are described.
