Continuously tunable multiatmosphere N2O and CS2 lasers

Abstract
We describe the operating characteristics of pulsed multiatmosphere electron‐beam‐controlled He:CO:N2O and He:CO:CS2 lasers. Continuous interferometric tuning of these lasers has been achieved giving a tunable linewidth of −1 for a laser pulse energy of 115 mJ from N2O and 45 mJ from CS2.
