Summary form only given. Kinetic enhancement of elemental copper vapour lasers by the addition of small partial pressures of hydrogen halides to the Ne:H/sub 2/ buffer gas has been reported by Withford et al. Such enhancement has been shown to dramatically increase the raw output power (up to 100% increase) and greatly improve the beam quality of elemental copper vapour lasers. To date this new class of Cu vapour lasers (KE-CVLs) have been operated only at pulse repetition rates up to 30 kHz. In this paper we report pulse repetition frequency (PRF) scaling of an efficient high power small-scale KE-CVL.
