The active medium of pulsed periodic copper vapor lasers (CVL) is characterized by a high pre pulse electron concentration ne0 1013 cm–3. Therefore, it was assumed that the development of the discharge under these conditions occurs without a breakdown stage, and a simple oscillatory circuit is used as the equivalent circuit of the laser discharge circuit, which determined the approach to choosing the optimal pumping conditions. However, as studies have shown, the development of a discharge in gas discharge tubes (GDT) with electrodes located in cold buffer zones (CBZ) is carried out with a breakdown stage.
