Abstract :
Injection of ionized gas is used to obtain uniform continuous discharges in CO2-laser gas mixtures at atmospheric pressure. Power input densities of up to 150 kW/l have been obtained in mixtures of CO2/N2/He and CO2/N2/H2, and laser action has been obtained in a small device under conditions where the gain coefficient was 0.1 m-1.
