Abstract
The experimental results of the influence of excitation mode on the CuBr active element pulse duration are presented. One of the distinctive features of the research is the use of the train pulses for copper bromide molecules dissociation. The influence of train pulse number and delay time between the last pulse in a train and the excitation pulse on the laser pulse parameters is investigated. It is shown that the variation in the delay time allows one to change the duration of lasing pulse by more than 3 times.
