Abstract
This paper will describe the characteristics and evaluation of a CO2-isotope laser MOPA system that has been in operation at MIT Lincoln Laboratory for well over a year. The CO2 MOPA system consists of an ultrastable sealed-off cw CO2-isotope laser oscillator whose output is chopped to produce a pulse train, which in turn is amplified by a two-stage pulsed CO2-isotope laser amplifier with a net power gain of over 30 dB.
