Abstract:
We present here our investigation of the effects, that may produce an admixture of hydrogen into a CO2-laser active medium, on the energy that may be deposited into the gas at a pulsed volume electric discharge and on the laser lifetime. We also discuss the mechanisms resulting in an improvement of the discharge stability and CO2 regeneration that we revealed in this study.
