QUASI-CW LASER AT 585.3-NM OF THE NE-I LINE IN NE-H2 MIXTURE IN A SIMPLE COAXIAL ALTERNATING HIGH-VOLTAGE GLOW-DISCHARGE

A recombination Penning plasma laser operating at 585.3 nm of the Ne I line of an abnormal high-voltage glow discharge in a coaxial structure at 20-50 torr pressure of a Ne-H-2 mixture was achieved. The device can be operated either in a nanosecond monopulse mode or in an oscillatory mode. In the latter case we obtained a quasi-continuum, modulated laser light generation.
