A study was made of the basic energy characteristics of a transverse-discharge copper vapor laser. The average laser output power in the yellow and green lasing components was determined as a function of the amplitude and repetition frequency of the excitation pulses, temperature of the discharge tube walls, and buffer gas pressure. The current-voltage characteristics of the discharge were investigated. An average laser output power of 75 W was obtained, at a pulse repetition frequency of 3 kHz.
