Abstract :
Summary form only given. Investigations of the influence of halogens in the buffer gas of high temperature copper vapour lasers led to the recent development of kinetically enhanced devices using H/sub 2/-HCl-Ne buffer gas mixtures. Kinetically enhanced copper vapour lasers (or KE-CVLs) have performance characteristics that far exceed those of conventional CVLs.
