Abstract
The small‐signal gain on the 9‐ and 10‐μ bands of CO2 is monitored in a portion of an amplifier during and after the passage of a saturating pulse. The 10°0–02°0 relaxation rate is inferred from this experiment, and a resolution of conflicting previous measurements of this and other rates is offered.Keywords
