  • Abstract
    The design and frequency tuning characteristics of a pulsed RF-excited CO2waveguide laser operating at 10 atm are reported. Continuous tunability has been obtained over a 300 GHz wide spectral range from the R(12) to the R(26) line in the 10.4 μm band. The laser output has good temporal and spectral characteristics.
