Electron energy distribution and transport coefficients in magnetically confined CO2 lasers
The effects of magnetic fields on electrons have been considered using the Boltzmann transport equation for a novel laser system-a magnetically confined gas laser. The equation has been solved numerically for CO2 lasers, as an example in the study. Curves are presented of electron energy distributions and transport coefficients under the influence of a transverse magnetic field. An idea for improving gas laser efficiency has also been discussed.
Abstract EPR investigations on light-emitting Manganese centres in device-near ZnS or ZnSe thin-film layers were done. Mn 2+ centres were detected in both basic modifications of ZnS. Assertion on the crystallinity could be made. The efficiency of EPR is demonstrated by some examples.
