Abstract

A critical overview of the results of electron density measurements in copper vapor lasers is presented. There are considerable contradictions between the results of measurements made by different methods especially between the results concerning temporal behavior of electron density between excitation pulses. Possible reasons of these contradictions are discussed. The method of electron density measurement based on atomic hydrogen Balmer lines broadening is considered in greater detail. Possible nature of the Balmer lines emission under the conditions of copper vapor laser operation and processes of the lines broadening are discussed.
