Mechanism of low-frequency fluctuations of the output power of gas-discharge lasers

Journal Article · · Opt. Spectrosc. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5767249
Fluctuations of the output power of gas-discharge lasers arising on account of the random character of the processes of ionization and electron-impact excitation of atomic levels are described. Low-frequency fluctuations of the output power of a cataphoretic He--Cd laser are examined as an example.
