Modern copper and gold vapor laser setups used in oncology

Abstract

The results of development and a setup of an industrial laser based on self-limited transitions of metal atoms are presented. The main technical characteristics of self-heating sealed-off active laser elements based on copper and gold vapor, as well as on the vapor mixture of copper and gold of the "KULON" series are presented. We also present the results of lifetime tests of copper vapor active elements and those obtained during standard tests together with the technical parameters of most powerful laser elements of this series. The developed industrial laser is manufactured in the form of a monoblock with overall dimensions 1250 x 330 x 190 mm and weight not exceeding 46 kg. Air cooling is forced. Such laser setups are designed for technological and medical applications.
