Abstract: Experimental and theoretical investigations were made of turbulent diffusion in an industrial CO₂ laser with crossed electrodes. The particle diffusion reduced considerably the spatial inhomogeneity of the gain. The results obtained were used to propose a new method for the determination of the turbulent diffusion coefficient.
