  • Abstract
    The equations which govern the discharge phenomena in neutral gas lasers are cast into simplified form which brings out the dependence of laser properties on the external parameters of importance¿gas pressure, tube diameter, and tube current. The well known empirical scaling laws which govern neutral gas laser operation follow quite naturally from this procedure. Specific examples are given to illustrate agreement with experiment.
