  • Abstract
    The current status of hybrid and injection-locked single-mode TEA CO2laser systems is examined in relation to two important applications. It is argued that the operational characteristics of injection-locked systems are particularly well-suited for LIDAR applications and that the properties of hybrid devices impose a strong bias toward nonlinear optics applications, in particular, optical signal processing research.
