Abstract
We report here the first observation of the central tuning dip (Lamb dip) on individual rotation-vibration transitions of the N2 O-N2 molecular laser as well as observation of the effect in the CO2 -N2 laser. We also demonstrate that a frequency discriminator can be generated from the tuning dip that is much sharper than one obtained from a similar laser operating at higher pressure.
