  • Abstract
    Gain measurements on some of the strong emission lines of a pulsed water vapor laser are presented. For the strong 27.97-micron line, the gain has been measured as a function of both current excitation and pressure. An absorption effect has been found which suggests that the laser transitions take place between highly excited molecular states.
