Abstract
A copper vapor laser with an active medium length of 60 cm and bore of 16 mm was operated and optimized using different buffer gases to investigate the effect of pressure and gas flow rates on the laser output power. It was shown that a special interval of operational pressure and an optimum gas flow rate associated with the type of buffer gas were obtained.
