Abstrakt: The mechanism of lasing in a steady-state CO2 laser has been investigated in [1–3]. In this paper we present a numerical analysis of the processes which occur in a CO2 laser when the resonator is rapidly Q-switched. It is shown that the transition of the laser into the state with a new Q has an oscillatory form.
