Mg. Galushkin et al., INFLUENCE OF TURBULENT-DIFFUSION ON THE A MPLIFICATION OF RADIATION IN A SECTIONED DISCHARGE CHAMBER OF A FAST-FLOW CO2-LASER, Kvantovaa elektronika, 22(5), 1995, pp. 485-487
Experimental and theoretical investigations were made of turbulent dif
fusion in an industrial CO2 laser with crossed electrodes. The particl
e diffusion reduced considerably the spatial inhomogeneity of the gain
. The results obtained were used to propose a new method for the deter
mination of the turbulent diffusion coefficient.
