Abstract
Rate equations for the density of excited ions in noble gas discharges are solved for the steady state. The atomistic parameters in the theoretical treatment are replaced by experimental values. Hence inversion density and single pass gain can be calculated as a function of gas pressure, discharge current and geometry of the discharge tube. Conditions for maximum inversion density and power output are calculated and compared with experimentally determined values. The calculation is pointing out large bored tubes to be advantageous for high power operation. Numerical evaluations are particularily given for theA + line 4880 AU.
