Abstract
In this paper, the frequency and energy characteristics of a MnBr vapor laser with the inner reactor, i.e., with gas vapors being produced within a gas discharge tube, and the dependence of the average output power on different parameters are studied. The values of the GDT wall temperature and buffer gas pressure required for obtaining the maximum output power are determined. It is shown that the active elements of this kind are as good as the elements with a conventional way of gas vapor production. For a medium on transitions of Mn atoms, the PRF of 100 kHz is obtained for the first time. The results of using the active element as a brightness amplifier in active optical systems are also presented, and the research of amplifying characteristics is carried out.
