Abstract

This paper investigates the geometrical dependence of output power in halide lasers. Tubes with varying lengths and bores were tested using CuBr and CuCl as active media. An optimum length-to-bore ratio of approximately 30 was found to produce maximum output power. Mathematical relationships were established relating tube geometry to output power, which differed from copper vapor lasers. These relations provide useful guidance for designing halide laser tubes with optimized performance.
