| Abstract: | The possibility to build a high power copper laser using a new type of discharge – heated cathode discharge in the copper vapours continuously evaporated from a melted spot on the anode surface is analysed. From the experimental data on this new discharge type, the equivalent pressure of the copper atoms in the discharge space has been obtained. This pressure can be as high as 1 torr. The density of the power in the discharge volume is evaluated to be more than 1 kW/cm3. |
