Modeling RF Excitation of a CO2 Laser
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerIn this project I used a Matlab model to predict the ion sheath thickness of a CO2 gas laser excited with an RF discharge. This sheath region is unique to the RF discharge, and inhibits laser performance. I predicted the sheath thickness to within 4% of experimentally measured values, which is a negligible error when making laser gain measurements.
