INFLUENCE OF A D.C. AND A.C. MAGNETIC FIELD UPON A GAS DISCHARGE LASER

Abstract

The influence of a magnetic field upon a gas discharge laser has been investigated. The magnetic field changes the spatial and energy distribution of the electrons and therefore influences the light output of the laser. Experiments show that this effect may be useful for adjustment and modulation of the laser emission.
