Abstract
For a laser system with fast longitudinal gas flow, at least one impeller of the type of runners for tangential blowers with adjacent ring channel is used for the circulation of laser gas. At least two longitudinal pipes merge tangentially into the ring channel where at least one longitudinal pipe is designed as a laser resonator. The ring channel and the longitudinal pipes form a closed loop for the laser gas.
Claims13
In a gas transport laser with fast longitudinal gas flow, the gas transport apparatus comprising at least one tangential blower wheel with adjacent ring channel for the circulation of gas, the ring channel merging tangentially into at least two longitudinal channels, the ring channel extending along the circumference of the blower wheel from one longitudinal channel to the other so that the ring channel and the longitudinal channels form a closed loop for the laser gas, and where at least one longitudinal channel is equipped with end mirrors perpendicular to the tube axis which form a laser resonator.
