The emergence of lasers opened a new epoch in optical diagnostics of fast processes in many fields and in gas-dynamics in particular (holography, holographic and speckle interferometry, etc.). However, as to classical optical methods traditionally applied in gas-dynamics, these new light sources, side by side with numerous advantages, have a certain demerit. High spatial coherence of a laser beam leads to appearance to speckle structure in an image obtained with the help of interferometers or schlieren devices, which can not be eliminated even with scatterer application. A new semiconductor laser with electron-beam pumping is free from such a demerit. Its quality and capabilities are illustrated by flow pattern obtained in experiments of gas-dynamics, and laser-plasma diagnostics.
