  • Abstract
    High-efficiency driven Q switching of the CO2laser has been observed by the use of the Stark effect in CH3Cl, CH3F, CH3CHF2, CH2= CF2, and C2H3Cl 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.
