Abstract
We have demonstrated continuous tunability of a high‐pressure molecular gas laser over portions of the 9–12.5‐μm spectral range. The laser employs electron‐beam‐controlled multiatmosphere discharges in He : N2 : CO2, He : CO : N2O, or He : CO : CS2. The high‐pressure CS2 laser is continuously tunable in the 12.1‐μm region which is relevant for laser separation of uranium isotopes.Keywords
