  • Abstract
    We have studied the spectral behavior of the gain of a high-pressure transversely excited CO2laser that delivers an output energy of 40 J/1 within about 1 μs and 20 J/1 within 70 ns. From these data we found the translational temperature of the amplifier medium, T = 435 K and the vibrational temperature of the ν3mode, T_{3} = 2750 K.
