Abstract

<abstract> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A high-power repetitively pulsed e-beam-controlled discharge <inline-formula id="i1"><tex-math><?CDATA ${\text{CO}}_{2}$?></tex-math><inline-graphic xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2j5xvdf0" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></inline-formula> laser is simulated numerically; the simulation results are compared with experimental data. Optimal sizes and design of electrodes and configuration of the external magnetic field are found, which allow one to introduce no less than 90 % electric pump energy into a specified volume of the active medium, including the active volume of a laser with an aperture of <inline-formula id="i2"><tex-math><?CDATA $110 \times 110\ {\text{cm}}$?></tex-math><inline-graphic xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2j5xvdmr" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></inline-formula>. The results obtained can also be used to design other types of high-power gas lasers.</p> </abstract>
