Abstract
In this study, the design and construction of a pulse high repetition rate (HRR), transverse atmospheric pressure (TEA) CO2 laser with ultra violet preionization is presented. In this laser, normal pure, industrial gases and also a combination of spark and corona preionization are used. In semi-sealed off condition, we obtained 220 watts at 300 Hz, %7.7 efficiency, 735 mJ/pulse. The best records that we reached separately were 1.1 J/pulse, 320 Hz PRR, 11 MW peak power and 10.6% efficiency .
