  • Abstract
    Results of theoretical calculations for a high-pressure electrically excited pulsed CO laser oscillator are presented and compared with experimental data obtained from an E -beam-stabilized device. The assumptions made for the molecular kinetics, plasma kinetics, and radiative characteristics are described and the sensitivity of the calculations to vibration-vibration (VV) cross-relaxation rates and electron distribution is discussed.
