Abstract
Results of an experimental study of energy deposited in a gas-discharge tube (GDT) of lasers operating on copper and lead vapors and processes affecting the distribution of vapors of a working substance in a laser active volume are presented. Methods and means for improving the laser efficiency by increasing the vapor density in the laser active volume and using a combined pulsed discharge in the pumping process are proposed.
