Abstract

The main regularities of formation of gas flows in laser mixtures of high pressure based on CO₂:N₂:He ((lambda) equals 9,3-10,7 micrometer), N₂:He ((lambda) equals 337 nm) and Xe:He ((lambda) equals 1 - 5 micrometer) with the help of the 'electrical wind' are informed about. Maximum pumping rates of laser mixtures in discharge gaps up to 4 m*s^-1 are obtained. In small-sized sealed-off TEA-CO₂ lasers the pulse repetition rate is increased up to 50 - 70 Hz; in TEA-N₂ and TEA-Xe lasers -- up to 120 - 140 Hz.
