Abstract

A study has been made of the effect that inert and molecular gas impurities (He, Ar, Kr, Xe, N2, CO2) have on the lasing efficiency of a Penning plasma laser operating at λ=585.3 nm Hel in an Ne-H2 mixture excited in a longitudinal discharge. The optimal compositions found for ternary mixtures can substantially increase the laser output parameters. The lasing power gain obtained in an Ne-H2-Ar mixture is more than an order of magnitude higher than that in an Ne-H2 mixture.
