Abstract:
One of the mechanisms of the inversion breaking in copper vapour lasers caused by a high prepulse electron density is considered. Inversion breaking occurs at a critical electron density Ne cr. If the prepulse electron density exceeds Ne cr, the electron temperature Te cr cannot reach, during a plasma heating pulse, the temperature of ~2 eV required for lasing. A simple estimate of Ne cr is made.
