The characteristics and mechanism of a superpulse discharge for a high power FAF CW CO{sub 2} lasers are based on the rate equation theory. The mathematical modeling analysis of superpulse discharge especially considering the influence of turbulence and convection is simulated on the computer. Detailed mathematical modeling curves which demonstrate how superpulse operation is employed around population inversion, gain and injection power density are obtained. The results are relevant for superpulse CO{sub 2} lasers.
