  • Abstract
    This paper reports high repetition rate (30 - 60 KHz) Q-switching in a CO2vibrational-rotational CO2laser at 10.6 microns. A new moving mirror technique is used which gives the same average power in pulsed as in CW operation. The results yield information on the lower laser level lifetimes and demonsrtate some interesting effects of hysteresis, and line competition in the CO2laser.
