An electron-beam-controlled CO2 laser and it's performance have been developedand investigated. E-Beam controlled dischar ge has successfully pumped large volume CO2 laser gas mixture up to two atmospheric pressure. Electrical characteristics of the discharge and laser properties of the pumped medium have been investigated. Small-signal-gain coefficients up to 0.04cm -1 were achieved at field strengths of 4 KV/cm atm. Pulse amplification experiments indicate that the coupling of the rotational levels influences the saturation energy Es.
