Abstract

The influence of ³He isotope on laser performance of a sputtered segmented hollow cathode discharge He-Cu ion laser oscillating on 780.8 nm transition is presented. At low currents the laser power and small-signal gain are higher for ³He than for ⁴He. At higher discharge currents the laser parameters are similar both isotopes. However, due to lower discharge voltage for ³He, the same laser output power is obtained at small electrical input power.
