Experiments have been performed which show that it is possible to increase the efficiency and power of a CO2 laser by irradiating the discharge with energetic α and Li ions produced by the (n, α) reaction with B10. This effect is explained by a tailoring of the electron-energy distribution towards optimum pumping of the laser.
