Abstract
A uv‐photopreionized TEA CO2–N2 discharge is incorporated in an actively mode‐locked CO2 laser system capable of producing individual pulses of peak power of > 200 MW with durations ∼ 1 nsec. Spectral examination of the laser output indicates that oscillation occurs simultaneously on several rotational lines of the 10.4‐μ band.Keywords
