Abstract

This paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies on high-pressure He-Cd and He-Zn lasers. It is shown that using the hard ionizer approximation makes it possible to readily and efficiently simulate the plasma chemical processes that occur in the active media of high-pressure lasers pumped by electron and ion beams as well as by nuclear reaction products in electron-beam experiments. Laser oscillation was achieved at λ = 325, 441.6, 533.7, and 537.8 nm for the cadmium ion and at λ = 610.3 nm for the zinc ion.
