Abstract

In this paper, a theoretical random walk model for the metal-vapor segregator of metal-vapor laser is presented. The proposed model was verified qualitatively by experiment. Based on this model, a new type of segregator was proposed. Its principle is as follows: several metal pieces of high metal vapor condensation coefficients were used to adsorb the random walking metal-vapor particles that collide upon them, as a result, a protection of laser windows from the metal-vapor pollution was achieved. A Monte Carlo Simulation showed that the ability of antipollution for this new type segregator was much higher than that of the common segregator.
