This figure depends on the pressure required to ensure the circulation of the gas in the radiator, and on the operating pressure of the laser. But the final efficiency depends little on the power of the pump. 9. J.D.G. Rather, Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics 61, 322, 1978, M. Summerfield, ed., Princeton University, New Jersey. 10.
