Abstract
A model for the pulsed nitrogen laser is proposed and a scaling parameters are identi ed
so as to enable to study a laser over its range of discharge modes. This result is explained
for the critically damped case and the more typical case of damping factor of 0:4. The
analysis shows that in a typical nitrogen laser the rate of rise of nitrogen lase gap voltage
dVg
d prior to laser breakdown is 0:5KV
ns and experiment reported in the literature suggests
that dVg
d is required for uniform breakdown across the laser gap as a pre-requisite for good
lasing action
