Abstract

In this paper, a six-temperature model for CO2 lasers is used to describe the process of the dynamic emission in the electrooptically Q-switched laser. The dissociation of CO2 molecules, the electron excitation and the energy-transfer of vibrational levels and the rotational relaxation of rotational levels are involved. The calculated pulse waveforms are in good agreement with the experiment.
