Abstract

Plasma injection method has been used to stabilize the main electric discharge in the atmospheric high power cw CO₂ lasers. In this work, an analytical perturbative method is introduced for solving Boltzmann equation for a general plasma. This method is applied to a specific plasma injection CO₂-N₂-He laser. Small signal gain and output power of the laser are calculated in the steady state as a function of gas mixture and pressure. Dependence of small signal gain and output power on the main discharge current also were considered.
