Population and gain of a waveguide CO/sub 2/ laser

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
A system of kinetic equations is solved for the population of the upper laser level of a waveguide CO/sub 2/ laser (or amplifier) having a cylindrical waveguide excited by a longitudinal electric discharge. A theoretical analysis is made of the dependence of the population and unsaturated gain of a waveguide CO/sub 2/ laser on the pressure and composition of the active mixture, pump current, and waveguide tube diameter.
