Abstract :
A water vapor laser has been operated with a subsidiary grating Fabry-Perot resonator replacing one end mirror. Double-wavelength operation was obtained. Single-wavelength operation was obtained with strong rejection of shorter wavelength radiation, a variable effective reflectivity of the end mirror, and control of polarization characteristics of the cavity, allowing linear or circular polarization.
