Abstract:A model for magnetically confined discharge carbon monoxide laser is presented. Electron energy distribution function, the influence of the magnetic field on electron impact excitation, the vibration-to-translation and vibration-to-vibratio n excitation rates of CO molecule are discussed. The vibrational-state populatio ns of CO molecule and small-signal gain with magnetic field are calculated and s tudied also. After a magnetic field has been added, there appears a hole in the distribution of the vibrationa… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
