Abstract: On the basis of a large amount of experimental data, statistical investigation of the average lifetime of a UV Cu + Ne – CuBr laser depending on ten input physical laser parameters is carried out. It is found that only three of the parameters have a substantial influence on the laser lifetime. Physical analysis and interpretation of the results are provided.

Keywords: ultraviolet copper bromide vapour laser, laser lifetime, hierarchical cluster analysis, factor analysis, principal component regression.
