  • Abstract
    An experimental study of the saturable absorption of SF6at high pressure with high incident laser flux is reported. Experiments with a high-pulse-power CO2laser show 15 orders of magnitude change in transmittance of SF6(17 torr pressure) at the P (16) CO2line and apparent saturation of the residual absorption at P (20) and P (22) CO2wavelength. Comparison of these results with behavior predicted by a four-level model yields reasonable agreement over certain intensity ranges.
