We briefly describe the basic processes of formation and relaxation of nuclear-induced plasmas of gas mixtures, especially the processes of inverse population creation in nuclear-pumped lasers (NPL). A review of the work to create and research nuclearpumped lasers is in progress: on transitions of atoms and atomic ions and on molecular transitions. An increased focus is on the gas media, which we also study on WWR-K nuclear reactor and DC-60 ion accelerator. The studies on emission of heteronuclear ionic molecules of inert gases are also reviewed.

“…Generation with the electric-ionization pumping method was obtained for the first time in 1976 (Batyrbekov et al, 1977a;1977b;1977c). The generation was produced on the vibrational transitions of a CO 2 molecule with ionization of a CO 2 :N 2 :Не = 1:4:5 laser mixture by the products of Не 3 (n,p)T nuclear reactions in the active zone of the stationary WWR-K nuclear reactor.…”

This paper is devoted to the question of the conversion of nuclear energy into the energy of coherent optical radiation. The two possible ways to convert nuclear energy into laser radiation are discussed: direct and combined nuclear pumping. The concept of using laser gas active media capable of working with both direct and combined nuclear pumping is considered. The results of an investigation by Kazakh scientists on nuclear pumped lasers active media on bound-bound atomic transitions are presented.

“…The reason is that highenergy particles have a long range. Some EBS CO 2 and CO lasers 24 have been constructed at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan (in Alma-Ata), in a collaboration with the Lebedev Physics Institute. In these lasers, the active medium is ionized, and a plasma with an electron density n e~ 10 12 cm~3 atp= 1 atm is produced, by the products of the nuclear reaction 3 He + «^3H+/?+0.76 MeV.…”

Kvantovaya Elektron. (Moscow) 20, 113-122 (February 1993) The research-and-development effort on CO lasers and applications of these lasers in Russia are reviewed. Various types of cw, pulsed, and periodic-pulse CO lasers have been developed in various laboratories. Sealed-oif, water-cooled cw CO lasers with an output power of 5-10 W, pumped by a self-sustained electric discharge, are being used successfully in the manufacture of electronic devices and in medicine. The output power of fast-flow cryogenic cw CO lasers with a self-sustained discharge ranges up to ~ 1 kW. The use of electron-beam pumping has made it possible to develop pulsed electron-beamsustained (BBS) CO lasers with an energy up to ~ 1 kJ and also to develop cw and periodicpulse BBS CO lasers with a power of 10 kW and an efficiency up to ~40%. Research on pulsed electron-beam-sustained CO lasers has been the scientific foundation for the construction of CO laser systems of the (master oscillator)-amplifier type and periodicpulse CO lasers. A CO laser system with an output energy ~200 J and an output beam divergence of 2 • 10~4 rad has been developed. Requirements on the effective gain in the active medium and on the transport through atmospheric air of multifrequency output pulses from CO laser with various spectral and temporal characteristics have been formulated. A supersonic BBS CO laser with a peak power ~ 10 5 W and a 10-kW periodicpulse BBS CO laser with subsonic flow have been developed. The latter laser generates pulses with an energy ~ 100 J and a repetition frequency up to 100 Hz. The BBS CO lasers with injection of the laser mixture in the liquid phase are discussed. Lasers using nuclear ionization of the active medium are also discussed.
