Abstract The detailed mathematical models for the evolution of light pulses in RF-excited CO$_2$ waveguide lasers are derived. Explicit expressions for the pulse characteristics in RF-excited CO$_2$ waveguide lasers are obtained. The effects of losses and unsaturated gain on output power are calculated.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
