Abstract
High-efficiency driven
switching of the CO2 laser has been observed by the use of the Stark effect in CH3 Cl, CH3 F, CH3 CHF2 , CH2 = CF2 , and C2 H3 Cl on various lines in both the 9.4- and 10.4-μ bands. The effect is observed with both pulsed and sinusoidal electric fields applied to the intracavity modulator.
