Abstract:

The longitudinal discharge-excited Ca+ recombination laser operating at ?=373.7/370.6nm was studied for the practical purpers. A simple model of temperature field was presented for the Ca+ recombination laser discharge tube. An analytical expression of the radial temperature distribution in the tube was given. The relation between radial temperature distribution and output power restriction and thermal conductivity of the buffer gas has been described. Very good agreement exists between the calculated and measured results. This physical analysis can be applied to design Ca+ recombination laser.

Key words: laser physics, radial temperature distribution, numerical analyses, recombination laser
