Abstract :
Measurements were made of the radiative lifetime for the 001-100 transition in N2O, the absolute population densities of the laser levels, and the saturation parameter in a typical flowing N2O-N2-He laser. These numbers are compared with the corresponding parameters in the CO2-N2-He system to explain the difference in their performance characteristics. In addition, dissociation of N2O in a discharge and power enhancement in the N2ON2-He laser by adding CO are discussed.
