Abstract
The results of the copper bromide vapor laser operation with sectional active volume are presented. It is shown that sectioning improves parameter E/p and reduce the inductance of discharge circuit. With the available excitation conditions achieved, an increase in the average output power and efficiency by 1.7–1.8 times were achieved. The efficiency of this copper bromide vapor laser was 1.5%.
