Abstract
In the paper we first considered the problems of the efficiency of the synchronous operation of sections of the two-sectional copper bromide vapor laser. A comparison with the “generator–amplifier” system was made. For the first time, on the basis of the sounding radiation absorption phenomenon before the amplification phase the role of residual electrons in the population of the metastable level is shown.
