Quasi-Continuous-Wave Laser Emission from the Second Positive Band of Nitrogen.
Abstract
Experimental results are presented for the observation of a second positive nitrogen laser that has a pulse length much longer than the radiative lifetime of the upper laser level. Preliminary measurements of the temporal behavior of this laser indicate that it was operating in a quasi-continuous-wave manner and, in addition, the laser output was extremely sensitive to the alignment of the optical cavity placed around the discharge tube.
