June 25, Tang Xiaohui, Professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, published a book “High Power RF Slab CO2 Lasers”, which introduce the situation, structure, unit and components and integration of high power RF CO2 lasers, including the application of deep penetration welding and cutting.  

Chapter one introduces the RF CO2 lasers development and the overseas patents.

Chapter two introduces laser structure, areas amplification, and spread cooling. 

The third Chapter describes the lath and lath electrode design electrode thermal effect of the laser power extraction, the output beam characteristics. The fourth chapter analyzes one of the core components of the laser unstable - waveguide mixing chamber, reasonably good match resonator cavity structure and the distribution of large volume gain can improve the output power and beam quality is largely improved. The fifth chapter describes the beam-shaping mechanism, structure, distribution and far field output beam laser power offset compensation. The sixth chapter describes the high-power RF excited CO₂ laser excitation power supply, radio transmission, impedance matching. Chapter VII Analysis of RF gas discharge plasma, gas discharge uniformity. Chapter VIII points
