Abstract
The gain spectrum of a high‐pressure uv preionized CO2 laser was measured for pressures to 14 atm. The data show an ∼10% increase in the gain of the P branch of the 961‐cm−1 (00°1) ‐ (10°0)1 band which is attributed to the overlapping 927‐cm−1 0111‐ (1110)1 band. The measured gain was shown to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions of a four‐temperature kinetic model.Keywords
