Abstract (EN): Herein we present the calculations conducted on an Ar-O-2 surface-wave microwave discharge and its afterglow, and show that this system can be effectively used for the oxygen-iodine laser excitation. It is demonstrated that at pressures higher than 10 mbar O-2(a) yields higher than the threshold yield required for positive gain can be achieved along the afterglow. Additionally, the density of O(P-3) atoms, which can quench the I(P-2(1/2)) excited state, can be tuned to the desired level.
