Abstract
From a CCRF-excited zinc vapour laser with overlapped DC-discharge were emitted following 6 laser lines: two blue at 491.162[nm] and 492.403[nm], an orange at 589.433[nm] and three infrared lines at 747.879[nm], 758.848[nm] and 773.25[nm]. The discharge parameters were determined for an optimal laser operation. At a RF-power of 400[W] with the frequency 13.56[MHz] the optimal temperature of the oven lay between 780[K] and 800[K], the He-pressure between 3.5[kPa] and 5.5[kPa].
