A theoretical study of the lasing spectrum of a pulsed electroionization (C-12)(O-18)2 laser
Abstract
The frequencies of transitions in a 01(1)1-/11(1)0, 03(1)0/ 'hot' band of a (C-12)(O-18)2 molecule are calculated. The lasing spectrum of an atmospheric-pressure (C-12)(O-18)2 laser is studied theoretically. It is shown that the main portion of the radiation energy is concentrated in the IIP(18) and IIP(20) lines of the 9.3-micron branch. Consideration is given to the effect of the degree of CO2-gas enrichment on the lasing spectrum of the (C-12)(O-18)2 laser. By varying the composition of the CO2 gas in the active medium, it is possible to achieve single-frequency lasing at the IIP(18) or IIP(20) transitions.
