Abstract

A comparative investigation on the discharge and output parameters of the He-Zn⁺ laser excited by nanosecond and microsecond pulsed longitudinal high-current discharges is reported. A steady-state laser operation at the 610.2, 491.2, and 492.4 nm Zn⁺ lines is obtained with both discharges. The optimal discharge conditions, such as operating temperature, helium buffer-gas pressure, and discharge current amplitude, are found for each discharge.
