Abstract
An experimental investigation on the characteristics of laser and current pulses in a He–SrCl2 vapor laser is carried out. The temporal dependences of the discharge current pulse on the laser pulses at the 1.09 μm, ∼3 μm and 6.45 μm lines in strontium atoms and ions are measured and analyzed under different laser output powers. It is found that all laser pulses appear at the falling edge of the current pulse and shift forward to the current pulse with increasing laser output power.
