For operating conditions of the high power supersonic e-beam sustained CO laser a numerical investigation of the energy and spectral characteristics of the first overtone generation is conducted. It is shown that electro-optical efficiency of the first overtone generation can be more than 30%. The efficiency of a spectrum selection both on fundamental and first overtone transitions is evaluated. On the basis of numerical calculations the engineering evaluations for several variants of such a device are executed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
