Abstract

The case of incomplete similarity for which the processes in pulse gas-discharge lasers (PGL) are only similar in time is examined theoretically. It is shown that this kind of similarity is realized in PGL upon attainment of maximum efficiency. Theoretical computations are compared with experimental results on copper vapor PGL.
