Abstract :
A sealed transversely excited multiatmosphere pulsed laser is reported in which the active media is a combination of three isotopes:
12C
16O
2,
12C
18O
2, and
12C
16O
18O. Lasing action is obtained on all 12 vibrational-rotational bands with continuous tuning observed between line centers at pressures

to

of those required with conventional
12C
16O
2lasers.
