A numerical method for the analysis of the fast axial flow glow discharge CO{sub 2} laser has been developed. The method is based on the self-consistent solution to the one-dimensional steady-state glow discharge equations, the gas dynamic equations and the vibrational relaxation equations. The discharge equations include the continuity ones for the electrons, the positive and negative ions and Poisson`s equation for the electric field. The three-mode relaxation model for the vibrational kinetics and the plane-parallel optical resonator model have been used. This approach does not require previous assignment of the discharge power distribution and enables obtaining the discharge structure included the near-electrode regions in addition to the laser characteristics.
