Abstract
Energy deposition techniques are applied to the analysis of gas lasers. Using the latest available electron impact cross sections for molecular hydrogen, efficiencies for depositing energy in various excited states are computed. These results, together with the laser rate equations, are used to predict population inversions and emissions in the Werner bands of molecular hydrogen for a laser pumped by 400‐keV electrons. Reasonable qualitative agreement with experiment is obtained.Keywords
