Abstract

A compact pulse-periodic waveguide CO2 laser with high-frequency excitation with automatic assignment of the 10P (14) line and stabilization of the emission frequency in the middle of this line using a sealed-off optoacoustic cell, which is filled with a mixture of C2H4 (0.1%) and nitrogen, was developed. It is shown that the laser-frequency instability is within 3 MHz, thus meeting the requirements that are imposed on the calibration tools for high-resolution wavelength meters that are similar to WS-6IR.
