Abstract

This paper presents the results of investigations of lasing by electronic transitions of xenon, krypton, and neon atoms, cadmium and zinc ions, and nitrogen molecules and by oscillatory transitions of HF molecules. The processes responsible for the efficiency of each of the lasers have been studied. The maximum radiation energies achieved are as follows: up to 200 J at λ∼2.8 μm for a mixture of H2−SF6, up to 100 J at λ-1.73 μm and up to 50 J at λ=2.03 μm for xenon, up to 3 J at λ=358 nm for a mixture of Ar−N2, and up to 0.5 J at λ=585.5 nm for neon.
