Abstract
In double-pulse experiments with a small copper vapor laser, the choice of buffer gas significantly affected several laser characteristics, including the maximum practical pulse repetition rate. Of the gases tested, neon exhibited the best overall performance, and showed no pulse degradation for pulse intervals as short as 50 μs.
