Abstract: A CO₂ laser was excited by ionizing the active medium with an electron beam. The output pulses were of 7×10^–9 sec duration under free-oscillation conditions. The dependences of the pulse duration on the composition of the mixture and the energy characteristics of the laser were determined.
