  • Abstract
    A periodic pulsed output from a CO2waveguide laser caused by relaxation oscillations in the excitation circuit is reported. The resulting laser output has a peak power of 16 W and 100-ns duration with very good amplitude stability. The possibility of gain switching is postulated and outputs of the laser under CW and Q -switched operation are compared.
