Status of CO2 Isotope Lasers and Their Applications in Tunable Laser Spectroscopy

摘要

The use of CO2 isotopes can provide a manifold expansion of the usable frequency range of sealed-off CO2 lasers. Determination of the frequency, gain, and saturation of the various CO2 istopic laser transitions will be discussed. Design considerations for constructing CO2 istopic lasers and selected applications will be presented.
