  • Abstract
    Results of spectroscopic investigations of the spontaneous emission of CO2lasers are presented. The band head emission in the Second Positive System ( C^{3}\\pi_{u}- B^{3}\\pi_{g} ) of N2is 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 C^{3}\\pi_{u} 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 C^{3}\\pi_{u} state are in reasonable qualitative agreement with the predictions of this model.
