Abstract

Metal vapor laser apparatus includes a laser tube and a reactor chamber in which is contained metal which may be copper in the form of granules. Neon is introduced via one input port of the chamber and a halogen or halogen donor gas through another input port. A coil surrounds the reactor chamber and provides heating to its interior. The gas passes over the metal to form metal halide at its surface and is vaporized by the heating effects. The buffer gas and metal halide are then transmitted via a conduit into the laser tube where dissociation of the metal halide and subsequent excitation of metal vapor is carried out to produce laser radiation.
