Optimization of gas pressures ratio in a fast-axial-flow CO2 laser with genetic algorithm

In this paper, the laser output power of a fast-axial flow CO2 laser was optimized with gas pressures ratio of CO2:N2:He using a genetic algorithm technique. The power of laser was increased from 500 W (un-optimized case) to 2200 W (simulated case), also experimentally the power has achieved the value of 700 W (optimized case).
