Picosecond pulse amplification in isotopic CO2 active medium

Picosecond pulse amplification in isotopic CO2 active medium

Using a high-pressure carbon-dioxide laser amplifier enriched with the oxygen-18 isotope, we produced a 5-ps, 10-µm pulse of the 1 TW peak power without splitting, which otherwise occurs due to spectral modulation by the rotation structure of the CO(2) amplification band.
