Abstract
The calculations of the inversion population of gas lasers must take into account, that the lifetime of laser levels can differ from those of isolated atoms. This can be caused by resonance absorption if one of the laser levels is a resonant level. As the theory of Holstein is not applicable for small specular transmission density, an escape factor has been calculated in this case.
