To Simulate High Voltage Coaxial Cable Parameters on Copper Vapor Laser Performance

This project aims to study the effects of high voltage coaxial cable (RG 220) parameters on copper vapor laser (CVL) performance. Pulsed power supply is used to provide high voltage pulse to CVL through high voltage RG-220 coaxial cable. Coaxial cable parameters like inductances, capacitances and resistances are directly related to the length of cable and severely affect the performance of CVL. Simulation studies will be carried out using 2 meter high voltage coaxial cable. In CVL, a fast electric discharge directly excites copper atoms, High frequency permitting high average power output. Overall efficiency of CVL is quite low near about 1%, but highest among all types of visible radiation lasers. The major challenge to present this research paper is to achieve the desired output CVL output. Simulation results show how an electromagnetic wave distorts due to several possible reasons such as propagation delay, and attenuation.
