Certain aspects of the theory of a gasdynamic laser that uses a partial population inversion are examined. The effect of quasiresonant V--V exchange in the supersonic expansion of a binary mixture of an energy carrier and the working gas is examined in detail. The relation between ''freezing'' of the number of vibrational quanta and V--V exchange in the working mixture is determined. The energy parameters of a gasdynamic laser with partial population inversion are calculated analytically and new mixtures are proposed.
