Abstract The parametric optimization of the Ne--CuBr UV laser excited by longitudinal pulsed discharge is analysed by using a self-consistent kinetic model. Consistent characteristics of the optimization process are obtained by comparing with the experimental results. Simulation results show that neon ions come into being along with considerable depletion of the ground-state copper atoms. And the optimization of the discharge tube diameter is the tradeoff between the specific output photon density and the total active volume. Both the optimal neon gas pressure and the optimal reservoir temperature result from the balance between the neon ion density and the ground-state copper atom density to arrive at a maximum of their product.

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.
