Abstract: An experimental study was made of the operation of an electron-beam-controUed CO₂ laser in the pulseperiodic regime. The working mixture in the discharge zone was replaced completely by continuous flow in a closed gasdynamic circuit. The influence of gasdynamic effects on the energy characteristics of the laser were studied.
