Abstract
A kinetic model of the active medium is developed for a nuclear-pumped laser (with an He — Cd — CCl4 mixture) based on transitions in the cadmium ion and atom. The results of numerical modelling give the distribution of the relaxation flux between excited states of the cadmium atom. A study is reported of the mechanisms responsible for the influence of the addition of carbon tetrachloride on the evolution of relaxation processes in an He — Cd plasma and on stimulated emission of the λ = 325.0 nm line. It is shown that the main factor hindering lasing as a result of the 4d9 5s2 2D3/2 → 4d10 5p 2P1/2 transition is the parasitic absorption of the stimulated radiation by metastable cadmium atoms.
