Abstract
A radiofrequency excited atomic Xe slab laser with an active volume of
2 x 10 x 300 mm(3) using a quartz envelope containing the laser-gas m
ixture shows a stable cw performance with an output power of almost 1
W. The free-running system oscillates, depending on gas composition an
d density, on several lines between 1.73 and 3.51 mu m. Line competiti
on phenomena are observed. Single-line oscillation yields more than 50
0 mW.
