Abstract
1,179,057. Lasers. COMPAGNIE GENERALE D'ELECTRICITE. 10 April, 1968 [19 April, 1967], No. 17382/68. Heading H1C. [Also in Division G3] A gaseous laser has its gas pressure stabilized by providing a controllable gas absorption medium 13 in a conduit 17, 18 which couples the ends of the laser tube 3. The gas absorption medium 13 consists of graphite granules contained between finely-perforated walls 14, 15 in a chamber 12, the graphite being gasabsorbent when cooled and desorbent when heated. The laser gas, e.g. argon, has its pressure measured by a Pirani gauge 19 which is coupled to a control member 22, this member selectively operating an electric resistance heater or a cooling circuit (both not shown) respectively associated with an adjustable voltage source 21 and a pumping arrangement 20. The laser tube has double walls 6 through which circulates a liquid refrigerant between end pipes 7, 8 and has inclined windows 3. The resonator comprises external plane mirrors 1, 2. The laser tube contains ring-shaped electrodes 9, 10 together with alternate graphite and ceramic rings 4, 5 providing thermal insulation. The conduit 17, 18 equalizes the gas pressure at the two ends of the laser tube. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,044,999.
