Abstract :
A CO2 laser is described which may be actively stabilized in any of four different 
line pairs in the 10.4 μ band. The laser may be caused to rapidly switch between line pairs. The degree of frequency stability achieved is 
, 5 Hz and above, and 
, 0-5 Hz. The laser may be switched through the four line pairs in ∼100 ms.
