  • Abstract
    Saturation of the absorption of hot CO2by 1.6 ns P(18) and P(20) laser pulses at 10.6 μm has been measured. Coherent propagation calculations with no fitting parameters are in good agreement with the data and are consistent with a substantial hot-band contribution to the P(20) saturation.
