| dc.description | Prolonged operation of compact sealed CO<sub>2</sub> TEA lasers has been achieved at pulsed repetition frequencies up to 100 Hz, with the high CO<sub>2</sub> levels (50% and above) needed for maximum peak power output per unit discharge volume. This has hitherto been prevented by the inability to recombine the dissociation products CO and O<sub>2</sub> rapidly enough in high-CO<sub>2</sub>, high-PRF conditions. This has now been achieved through the first use of an unheated SnO<sub>2</sub>-Pd catalyst (active at -26°C) placed in the mainstream of gas circulated inside the laser. More than 2.5 × 10<sup>6</sup> pulses have been obtained, with no evidence of a limit to the life through decline in catalyst activity or deterioration of the gas discharge |
