Abstract
A study was made of the excitation of the working medium of a CO2-laser at a pressure of up to 8 atm by an electron beam of duration 15 · 10−9 sec. Results are given of the energy dissipation in a CO2:N2-1∶3 gas medium in the whole range of pressures with E0/p = (18–38) V /cm · mm Hg. The dependences of the time of appearance of the stimulated radiation with respect to the current pulse are given.
