  • Abstract
    The effects of gas additives on optical gain of the CO chemical laser (CL) have been measured for N2, SO2, H2, HF, CF4, CCl2F2, CO, OCS, N2O, and NO. One of the more unusual additives, NO, has been used to control the output spectrum of a laser oscillator by controlled sequential quenching of the high bands. The significance of these results for total power enhancement, output spectrum control, and alternate diluent use is discussed.
