On saturation mechanisms in PC He-Cd/+/ lasers
Abstract
The results of experimental studies on the saturation mechanisms in He-Cd laser discharge are presented. It is concluded that the saturation effects may be explained in terms of the influence of the discharge parameters on the helium triplet metastable density.
