Abstract
A commercial copper vapour laser has been modified to operate at wavelengths of 303.6 nm and 306.3 nm. The laser transition at 578 nm was suppressed, in order to enhance the competing U.V. transitions. The time averaged U.V. output power level is a few mW's at an electrical input power of up to 4.5 kW. The duration of the pulses is 68 ns.
