Abstract: An investigation was made of a pulse manganese vapor laser operated under self-heating conditions at a high pulse repetition frequency. The output power was determined as a function of gas-discharge conditions. The best output parameters were obtained using helium as a buffer gas: the average output power was found to be 2.1 W, the peak power was 24 kW, and the efficiency was 0.2 %.
