Abstract

The results of experimental investigations of the absorptivity of laser radiation energy in an optical discharge plasma are presented. The plasma was maintained in a stream of argon and nitrogen gases. The contribution of the mixture constituents to the laser beam absorption is considered. The importance of the obtained results for metal surface processing is discussed.
