Abstract

The terawatt picosecond CO₂-laser design is considered in the paper. The CO₂-laser system includes itself the following units: a) master oscillator with variable pulse width of 100 ps, and b) laser pre-amplifier being developed on a basis of a ring optical scheme and operating under the gas pressure of 3 atm. Both experimental and theoretical analysis of the CO₂-laser system is carried out.
