  • Abstract
    The use of N2O and CO2isotopes as active species for a blackbody radiation pumped laser has been experimentally demonstrated and theoretically analyzed. The results obtained for mixtures containing N2O,13C16O2, and12C18O2are presented. For the first time, continuous lasing action with blackbody radiation pumping has been obtained for this species. Two active species mixtures were tested, obtaining up to a 100 percent increase in output power due to \\upsilon -\\upsilon transfer. A simple model was developed and gain calculations are presented.
