Abstract :
We report here the first observation of the central tuning dip (Lamb dip) on individual rotation-vibration transitions of the N2O-N2molecular laser as well as observation of the effect in the CO2-N2laser. We also demonstrate that a frequency discriminator can be generated from the tuning dip that is much sharper than one obtained from a similar laser operating at higher pressure.
