Abstract
The luminescent method was used to measure the spectrum of turbulent pulsations of gas density in fast- axial flow CO2 laser with radio-frequency discharge input. It is shown that gas density pulsations increase through gas discharge along gas flow axes. In continuous-wave fast-axial flow (FAF) CO2 laser there is subsidiary deterioration of quality of active medium due to intrinsic turbulence intensified by gas discharge energy input.
