Abstract
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 parameter of the various CO2 isotopic laser transitions will be discussed. Design considerations for constructing CO2 isotopic lasers and selected applications will be presented.
