Title: Dynamics of the population of the vibrational levels of the CO molecule in the active medium of a pulsed electron-beam-controlled CO laser

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

Typical excitation conditions in a pulsed electron-beam-controlled CO laser were studied and the times for attaining a fixed unsaturated absorption level due to different vibrational transitions of the CO molecule were determined. These times were compared with those calculated by varying the values of the short- and long-range components of the vibrational--vibrational (VV) exchange constant. The values of these constants were then refined.
