“…It is of practical interest to realize PRLs in gas discharges having a beam of high-energy primary electrons. Lasing has been obtained by using special types of discharges such as the fast transverse discharge [5,8], open discharge [9], discharges with pre-ionization [10,11] and microwave discharges [12]. Various mixtures-He-Ne-Ar (Kr), Ne-Ar, Ne-H 2 and Ne-NF 3 have been used as an active medium and lasing on eight NeI lines has been obtained.…”

A theoretical and experimental study of a Penning recombination laser operating in the negative glow plasma of a pulsed high-voltage hollow cathode discharge at intermediate pressures is presented. A detailed kinetic model of the plasma - chemical reactions and radiative processes determining the inversion population on the transition is developed and the time-dependent behaviour of both the plasma and laser parameters (excited states populations, electron and ion densities, electron and gas temperatures, output power and gain) is numerically calculated. An extended experimental investigation of the main plasma and laser parameters is made and a comparison with theoretical results is presented.
