• Currently, most interest in terms of practical applications is attracted by pulsed metal vapour lasers (PMVL) constructed on the circuit with stagnant excitation of longitudinal or transverse electrical discharges. In both cases, the problem of constructing PMVL with the required radiation characteristics must be solved on the basis of minimizing the economic costs associated mainly with the need for careful preliminary study of the working processes in these lasers. Discharge plasma in metal vapours is characterized by significant non-stationarity of many physical parameters, a detailed analysis of which in a broad range of experimental conditions is often extremely difficult. Taking into account that the metal vapour lasers for some metals have not as yet been sufficiently investigated, and the construction of their existing models involve various costs, it can be considered most appropriate to study these lasers by numerical simulation of processes in their active medium or, in other words, by numerical experiments aimed at optimizing and predicting the characteristics of lasers.
