A study has been made of the factors that restrict the mean output power from a copper-vapor laser. The gas temperature at the axis of the discharge tube has been measured. Estimates have been made of the limiting power input to the discharge and the limiting mean lasing power. The buffer-gas pressure and the steepness of the current pulse influence the mean lasing power.
