Abstract
An investigation was made into the influence of the voltage rise time on the characteristics of an SSVD in CO2-N2-He mixtures. When the region near the cathode was subjected to intense and prolonged ultraviolet irradiation, the use of a pumping regime with a deliberately prolonged voltage rise time made it possible to obtain an SSVD in an electrode system with a highly inhomogeneous electric field at its edges, and to raise the CO2 laser efficiency.
