  • Abstract
    Experiments with a high-pressure transverse-discharge CO laser are described. The pulsed laser output was observed to occur on several CO rotational-vibrational transitions in bands from \\upsilon = 6 \\rightarrow \\upsilon = 5 to \\upsilon = 11 \\rightarrow \\upsilon = 10 . A study of the laser delay time versus CO pressure is presented and its relation to two inversion schemes is discussed in detail.
