Abstract :
An average laser power of 6.7 W has been obtained from a small-bore CuBr laser with a constructive active volume of 4.77 cm3 , i.e., a record specific average power of 1.4 W/cm3 for multikilohertz operation of copper vapor lasers has been achieved. It was found that the small-bore CuBr laser can operate with a neon buffer at atmospheric pressures
