Abstract
A model for the correlation of the lasing action and the ionisation processes of a CO2laser is presented. The model takes into account the step ionisation of N2and CO molecules. Making use of the method of rate equations the expressions of the correlation between the laser output power variations and the discharge impedance changes, as well as spontaneous light intensity changes, are obtained.Keywords
