Kinetics and model of metal vapor lasers excited by an inductive pulsed-periodic high-freaquency discharge

The article presents a physical model of the processes occurring in a nonequilibrium plasma of the working body of metal vapor lasers excited by an inductive pulsed-periodic high-freaquency discharge. The model is based on differential equations of population kinetics, electron energy balance, electric circuit, development of stimulated emission, etc. All equations are adapted to the features of induction discharge and the special geometry of the discharge chamber. A description of the model is presented for a variant of a copper vapor laser with a neon buffer gas. Peculiarities of the dynamics of the parameters of plasma and laser radiation under high-freaquency discharge conditions are noted.
