Journal of Russian Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Multiline laser probing was applied for the diagnostics of the active medium of a wide-aperture carbon monoxide laser amplifier. The temporal behavior of the small-signal gain in the active medium of a pulsed electron-beam sustained discharge CO laser amplifier was studied with a specially designed probe CO laser in a wide range of ro-vibrational spectral lines (from V = 5 up to V = 31). The results were analyzed in order to reconstruct the temporal behavior of gas temperature and vibrational populations in CO-containing gas mixtures, CO:He and CO:N2, and oxygen-rich CO: O2 mixtures.
