Baranov V.Yu., Borisov V.M., Nizrev V.G., Petryakov V. M.
We report the design and parameters of a pulsed C02 laser of energy 150 J and pulse duration ъ 100 nsec. The stability of the homogeneous phase of the discharge is considered. The times of instability development and the arc formation in molecular gases are measured.
