Abstract:
The temperature distribution along the active zone of self-heating metal-vapor laser is studied. Significant contribution of the near-electrode region into the temperature field formation is shown. It is demonstrated for Cu- and Pb-vapor lasers as an example that the proper choice of the discharge tube construction and the experimental conditions may favor creation of the "temperature locks" which hinder the metal vapor removal from the laser active zone.
