Abstract :
Results of spectroscopic investigations of the spontaneous emission of CO2 lasers are presented. The band head emission in the Second Positive System ( 
) of N2 is studied as a function of discharge current and laser output power. The observed changes of the band head intensities are described in terms of the vibrational energy distribution in the 
electronic state of N2 . A simple model is developed by which the influence of the laser process can be understood. The excitation properties of the state are in reasonable qualitative agreement with the predictions of this model.
) of N electronic state of N state are in reasonable qualitative agreement with the predictions of this model.Keywords :
