Abstract
The electron temperature as a function of laser tube temperature of a copper vapor laser utilizing copper chloride as a lasant has been obtained by measuring the microwave incoherent radiation from the plasma in the laser tube. An unexpected increase of electron temperature at higher laser tube temperature may be due mainly to Penning ionization of the Cu atom by the metastable state of He or Ne buffer gases. The results obtained in this work provide part of the basis for understanding the behavior of the laser output as a function of tube temperature.
