Use of a double thyratron pulse modulator in a large-bore copper vapor laser is demonstrated. Design of the laser consisting of a discharge tube of 70-mm diameter and 1500-mm length is discussed. The laser gave 55-W output power at 4.8-kHz repetition rate using neon as the buffer gas with 9.1-kW modulator switching of electrical power. The efficiency of the laser was about 0.6%.
