Virtual Bookstore Citation Title PULSED LASER DEVICE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES FOR PULSED LASER BEAM JITTER MEASUREMENT Author(s) Cronburg, T. L. Corporate Author(s) AVCO EVERETT RESEARCH LAB INC EVERETT MA Report Date 4/1/1982 Page Count 52 Abstract Beam jitter diagnostics were developed and tested on a repped-flowing CO2 e-beam sustainer laser cavity. The limiting source of jitter was found to be due to gas density gradients in the cavity. Both flow-induced gradients and disturbances from the repped discharge contribute. Reduction of the jitter magnitude can be accomplished through temperature control of the gas flow and acoustic suppression.
