HIGH POWER CO–N2–He LASER

Abstract
High‐power, high‐efficiency lasing has been obtained from a flowing CO–Air–He laser. Maximum power was 20 W at 9% efficiency. The gas mixture was excited premixed in a liquid–N2–cooled discharge tube 144 cm long by 2 cm in diameter. Observations pertinent to the roles of the various gases are presented.
