It is shown that nitrogen addition improves laser characteristics and changes the composition of the laser active medium. The addition of nitrogen significantly decreases CO dissociation level and concentrations of C atoms created in plasma-chemical reactions of laser discharge.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Influence of nitrogen on thermodynamic properties and plasma composition in discharge tube of CO-laser}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/105629/PDF/03_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoter-2016-0018}, keywords={CO-laser, vibrational kinetics, dissociation, plasma-chemistry, CN molecules, C2, electron kinetics}, }
