The possibility of using transient processes in the 
discharge circuit of an electric-discharge laser to pump the active 
media is analyzed. It is shown that, due to the nonlinearity of the 
transient process, under certain conditions, the efficiency of the 
energy contribution to the alternate load can almost be doubled as 
compared with the circuit containing a permanent load. It has been 
established that the process is quasiperiodic when the discharge-plasma 
resistance changes by an exponential law. The conditions of realization 
of the maximum energy contribution as well as the regions of stabilization 
of the optimum parameters have been determined. The necessary calculations 
have been performed for active media that model solutions of organic 
dyes under excitation by flashlamps.
