On the Possibility of Constructing Pulsed Gas Lasers with Electron Beam Pumping in an Electric Field,
Abstract
The paper reports the possibility of constructing pulsed gas lasers with mixed excitation, when the gas is pumped with an electron beam and an electric field simultaneously. The proposed excitation method makes it possible, in principle, to obtain high radiated laser power owing to uniform excitation of large gas volumes at high pressures. The role of the electron beam actually amounts to the creation of conditions for streamerless discharge development, and the excitation energy comes mainly from the external electric field.
