The energy balance in a carbon monoxide laser is studied through a numerical solution of the electron Boltzmann equation for E/N=10/sup -16/--10/sup -15/ Vxcm/sup 2/. Excitation of vibrational levels by electron impact and collisions of the second kind is examined. The vibrational temperature is found to have a strong effect on the rate with which energy is transferred to vibrational levels of the molecular species.
