Abstract
The optimization of power absorbed by nitrogen laser circuit were developed and scaling
parameters are identi ed with MatLab algorithm so as to enable a study of the laser over
its range of discharge modes. Results are presented for the critically damped laser gap
and for the more typical case of damping factor 0.4. The analysis shows in a typical
nitrogen laser the rate of rise of the laser gap voltage dVg=dt prior to laser gap breakdown
is 0.5kv/ns and such a (dVg=dt) is required for a uniform breakdown across the laser gap
for a good lasing action. The power absorbed by the channel is 70% when the laser gap
circuit is critically danped. For the case of damping factor 0.4 the power absorbed is
65%. Thus it may be concluded that in the present work optimum power absorbed by
the channel is 70%
