Abstract

A modular cw CO2 transverse flow, self-sustained discharge-excited laser at an average output power of 1.2 kW was designed and built at the IFFM of the Polish Academy of Sciences for industrial applications. Performance characteristics of the laser measured for a stable resonator folded into different types of multipass configurations are reported and compared.
