Experimental Investigation of CO and CO2 Laser Action by Organic Molecule Oxidation.
Abstract
CO and CO2 laser action has been achieved by organic molecule electrochemical oxidation in a directly excited, subsonically flowing, CW gas laser. The laser spectrum shifts from 5 microns due to CO to 10.6 microns due to CO2 as the cooling temperature is increased from 77K to -40C. Both CO and CO2 are reaction products formed by the electro-chemical oxidation of CH4, C3H8, C2N2, C2H2 and HCHO. (Author)
