Designs and Experiments Relating to Stable Gas Lasers

Abstract

The report describes some of the advances in the design and performance of stable gas lasers. The construction and output characteristics of highly reproducible, stable, selectable single transition grating-controlled CO2 and CO lasers are described. Experiments on short-term stability, standing wave saturation resonances, pressure and power broadening, pressure shift and long-term stabilization of CO2 lasers are discussed.
