Abstract

An investigation is made of the electrical and optical characteristics of a moderate-pressure transverse discharge in typical active media of infrared CO lasers. The discharge was ignited in a system of unprofiled “ grid-plane” electrodes with automatic ultraviolet preionization by a corona discharge and had a 2×3 cm aperture. The pulse repetition frequency was 1–10 Hz, the current pulse length was ≤0.5 μs, and the pressure of the working mixtures was 10–100 kPa. Studies were made of the transverse discharge current voltage pulses, and also the spectral and temporal characteristics of the plasma radiation in N2:CO, He:N2:CO, and He: N2:CO:Xe mixtures in the ultraviolet and visible ranges.
