Lp. Babich et Im. Kutsyk, INFLUENCE OF THE ADDITION OF XENON ON THE DISCHARGE AND LASING CHARACTERISTICS OF A TEA CO2-LASER, Kvantovaa elektronika, 21(6), 1994, pp. 550-552
Numerical modelling was used to study the mechanism of the influence o
f small amounts of Xe on the discharge and lasing characteristics of p
ulsed electric-discharge TEA CO2 lasers. The addition of Xe to an acti
ve mixture can have positive effects: it can reduce the discharge volt
age and improve the lasing characteristics.
