Abstract
CO and CO2 laser action are achieved by organic molecule electrochemical oxidation in a directly excited, subsonically flowing, CW gas laser. The laser spectrum shifts from 5μ (due to CO) to 10.6 μ (due to CO2 ) as the cooling temperature is increased from 77 K to -40°C. Both CO and CO2 are reaction products formed by the electrochemical oxidation of CH4 , C3 H3 , C2 H2 , or HCHO.
