Abstract
It has been demonstrated how a longitudinal capacitive discharge can effectively pump pure metal vapor lasers. Prior to this, a similar type of discharge was used to pump of low-temperature self-terminated metal halide vapor media. In our work we used copper as the working metal. Two small volume active elements, which were 8.3 and 20 cm3, were made. For the first GDT (volume 8.3 cm3), a power of 1.5 W was achieved at an excitation pulse repetition rate of 55 kHz; for the second GDT (volume 20 cm3), a power of 2.6 W was achieved at a frequency of 35 kHz. For the first time, it has been experimentally shown that such a GDT design is suitable for obtaining high-frequency generation of pure metal vapor lasers.
