Abstract
CO2 lasers emit radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 μm. This is enabled via transition between two vibronical states of the linear CO2 molecule. Excitation in the upper laser level takes place via collision with an electron or, much more likely, via collision with a vibronically excited nitrogen molecule.
