Abstract
A 100W copper vapor laser is studied for use as an amplifier. The gain is measured with temporal and radial resolution throughout the gain period and the absorption is monitored throughout the interpulse period. Preliminary results are presented. Evidence of upper level coupling in an operating copper laser is also observed. A large population transfer between upper levels in an oven containing copper vapor is only observed in the presence of a very strong U.V. probe beam.
