Abstract
A temporal analysis of CO2 laser pulses generated in a hollow-cathode configuration is presented. A complex laser pulse structure from a single excitation pulse was detected, and the optimum CO2-N2 relation for maximum resonant energy transfer was determined. A mechanism responsible for the detected laser structure is suggested
