Abstract

In this paper, we have investigated the discharge transverse uniformity of an RF excited diffusively cooled all-metal slab waveguide CO₂ laser, the discharge characteristic of an RF excited diffusively cooled all-metal slab waveguide CO₂ laser was reported, At different input power, the discharge plasma between all metal slab waveguide were clearly recorded with Nikon camera. The striations were distinctly observed on the discharge photographs, the two bright regions on the pictures is proportional to the visible emission intensity.
