Abstract :
In spite of the widespread use of the CO laser, there has been no previous experimental information on the radiative lifetimes for the series of v to v - 1 transitions. We wish to report here the determination of ratios of Einstein A coefficients for adjacent pairs of vibrational transitions by gain measurements on the individual vibration-rotation lines in the corresponding bands.
