Electron-beam controlled discharge lasers and laser amplifiers on CO2, CO, and N2O molecular gases

The latest results on studying EBCD lasers on CO2, CO, N2O molecular gases carried out at the Gas Lasers Lab of Lebedev Institute are reported. EBCD CO2 isotope lasers, cryogenic and supersonic-cooled, pulsed and pulse repetition CO lasers and amplifiers, and high efficiency N2O lasers have been investigated. A high-power N2O laser has been created with energy, specific output, and efficiency of 106 J, 36 J/l-Amagat, and 10 percent, respectively.
