Abstract
In a research of fast axial Bow CO2 laser sustained by 150 kHz silent disch
arge, we found the optimized gas mixing ratio was CO2:N-2:He = 1:22:5 or th
e content of helium was only about 18%. This result upset the situation of
common CO2 lasers in which the most important laser gas is helium. An expla
nation of our particular results and supporting experimental evidence are g
