why do we use deionized water in the power supply of lasers? (Does this affect the output laser pulse?)?


Deionized water is less likely to leave a sediment that could clog the plumbing, and is less likely to react with any metal parts inside the cooling system.

  1. no iron atoms to interfere with the lasers?

  2. water is used in "water cooled" lasers.

    water is pumped thru the rod to keep it cool. I am not aware of the power supply using such a method.
    Deionized water is used because it lacks all the minerals and other substances that would be found in tap water.
