Abstract:Over the last decade new advanced gas lasers have emerged as possible candidates for high power laser systems that may supplant more conventional chemical and gas laser systems. Among these are the electric oxygen-iodine laser (ElectricOIL), the diode pumped alkali laser (DPAL), the exciplex pumped alkali laser (XPAL), and the optically pumped metastable rare gas laser. In this paper we will primarily focus on the ElectricOIL and XPAL systems, and discuss some of the recent experiments and modeling of these sy… Show more
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.
