Abstract
The optogalvanic effect in a copper-vapour pulsed laser as well as the opto thermal effects due to a hysteresis of the optogalvanic effect were observe d for the first time. The generalised rate constant for the deexcitation of a resonant level to the ionisation state of the active medium was estimate d to be [sigma nu] similar to (3 +/- 1)x 10(-7) cm(3) s(-1).
