  • Abstract
    Operation of a Q-switched CO2laser on the P and R branches of the 00°1 to 10°0 vibrational transition and on the P and R branches of the 00°1 to 02°0 vibrational transition individually has been achieved using selective absorption in gases. The advantage of this technique over other means of wavelength selection is that the resonator Q is not reduced at the oscillating wavelength.
