Spectral structure of CuBr laser under lower pressures

Abstract

Under consideration of the basic factors such as the level hyperfine structure and isotope split etc., the spectral structures of spontaneous emission of copper atom 578/511nm lines are calculated. A sealed operation CuBr laser with periodical refreshment of the buffer gas are designed and constructed. The 578/511nm spectral structures, produced by CuBr laser at lower Ne buffer gas pressure were measured under different working temperatures and exciting voltages. The spectral structure of spontaneous emission of copper atom 578/511nm lines have multi-peaks similar to their laser spectral structure, but the 578nm laser line isstrongly dependent on the working temperature and the exciting voltage. Some possible reasons are suggested to qualitatively explain the experimental results.
