Abstract :
The computer model has been developed with view to simulating the observed experimental behaviour of a copper vapour laser (CVL) using a minimum of input parameters into the calculations. Therefore, self-consistent approach is used whereby the behaviour of the plasma is simulated through multiple excitation/relaxation cycles until the shot-to-shot variation of the predicted results converges to within an acceptable tolerance (<1%)
