Characteristics of a gas-discharge co-laser in generation on an overtone 1. Steady-state regime

The work presents the parametric dependences of the energy and spectral characteristics of the gas-discharge CO-laser in steady-state regime in generation on the first overtone on the gas temperature, the pumping power, and the cavity Q-factor of the resonator. The article examines questions of the selection of the individual vibrational and rotational lines. Comparisons with experimental results are made.Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 289–294, August, 1981.
