“…The CVL technology has undergone rapid and significant changes since its first demonstration by Walter et al in 1966 [1]. Since then, major technological advancements such as large-bore CVLs and power-enhanced CVLs with additives have been reported from various laboratories and also by us [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Standard CVLs using C-C transfer circuits and pure neon as buffer gas, though simple in design and construction, offer low output power and efficiency which limits their various applications.…”

“…The present day CVLs are mostly converted to function as kinetically enhanced CVLs by incorporating suitable changes in the buffer gas mixtures, ensuring high efficiency, and rep-rate as compared to standard elemental CVLs based on pure neon as buffer gas. [9][10][11][12][13][14] The KE-CVL used with MASSP was based on 60 mm bore discharge tube with inter-electrode separation of about 155 cm. Online compact and rugged HCl generator was provided to ensure KE mode of operation as and when required.…”

“…1 The CVL systems are most reliable, rugged, efficient, and popular now in their various design configurations. 1, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Notable configurations are: large-bore CVLs, copper halide lasers (CuCl, CuBr, and CuHyBrID), and kinetically enhanced (KE) CVLs, which have made them attractive for various applications. Of these the kinetically enhanced CVLs have gained substantial importance in recent past due to their unique capability of 2-3 times increase in output power and efficiency by simply using a special buffer gas mixture without drastic change in design and circuitry.…”

“…The KE-CVLs are basically extension of standard high temperature elemental CVLs with provision of HCl vapors in the buffer gas mainly for removing excess electrons from the discharge medium resulting in dramatic increase in laser power and efficiency. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Kinetically enhanced copper vapor laser require external supply of HCl vapors mainly from specially designed online HCl generator, to supply mild concentrations (∼0.2%-0.5%) of HCl vapors into the discharge medium as part of the buffer gas mixture (Ne + H 2 ). This HCl generator is normally in the form of an externally a) Electronic addresses: bsingh@rrcat.gov.in and singhbijendra.phy@gmail.…”
