“…The increase in applied voltage increases the discharge through the gas, resulting from which the excited state of CO2 molecules gets heavily populated. In this process, a large number of photons are generated in the cavity, and the power of the output beam increases [20,21].…”

A low-cost medium power carbon dioxide (CO2) laser system is designed, constructed, and characterized to produce coherent, monochromatic laser radiation in the Infrared region. The laser cavity is simulated and designed by using ZEMAX optic studio. A switch-mode high tension pump source is designed and constructed using a flyback transformer and simulated using NI Multisim to study the voltage behavior at different node points. A prototype cooling system/chiller is designed and built using the Thermo-Electric Coolers (TEC) to remove the excess heat produced during laser action. Various parameters, like pumping mechanism, chiller stability, efficiency, output power, and current at different applied voltages, are studied. The chiller efficiency at different output powers of the laser is analyzed, which clearly shows that the chiller's cooling rate is good enough to compensate for the heat generated by the laser system. The center wavelength of the carbon dioxide laser is 10.6μm with FWHM of 1.2nm simulated in the ZEMAX optic studio. The output beam penetration through salt rock (NaCl), wood, and acrylic sheet at various output powers is analyzed to measure the penetration depth rate of the CO2 laser.

“…Among the different kinds of fabricated lasers, pulsed TEA-CO 2 lasers [1,2] have many applications in industry, science and medicine [3]. The characteristics of such lasers have been studied and developments have been made by researchers over the years [4][5][6][7]. The electron temperature and plasma density for the glow discharge of gaseous lasers are the most important parameters; the self-sustained glow discharge can be optimized to provide a higher efficiency of the laser system.…”

In this study, the electron density of plasma discharge has been obtained using the innovative combination of a basic theoretical relation and measured current-voltage characteristics of a uniform glow discharge of a spark array TEA-CO 2 laser. The maximum values of electron densities have been obtained as 1.93 × 10 13 , 1.95 × 10 13 and 2.15 × 10 13 cm −3 , respectively, for charging voltage of discharges at 18, 20 and 22 kV. The drift velocity of electrons has been obtained in the different conditions versus the reduced electric field (E/N) and gas mixtures in the discharge tube. Furthermore, the efficiency in energy conversion and the behavior of electrical energy density versus reduced electric field has been studied.
