CERTAIN PROBLEMS OF LASER GAS DYNAMICS

Usually the science dealing with the problem of creating coherent radiation is called quantum electronics. Studying the properties of laser radiation has opened new page in science - non-linear optics. It seems that both of these disciplines are very far from the gas dynamics that has no relation to the creation and application of lasers. The purpose of this paper to show that creation and use of lasers requires multiple solutions of gas dynamic problems which are the fundamental importance for the development of laser technology.
