Abstract

We performed experimental measurements on a CO₂ laser, consisting of a radio-frequency excitation discharge with slab geometry and a three mirror multipass resonator. We compared extraction efficiency, power stability and beam quality to those of the hybrid stable-unstable resonator. (Summary only available)
