摘要: Detailed measurements of small-signal gain coefficients in an optically pumped 4.3-microm CO(2) laser are presented. The transient is characterized by peak values ~14%/cm and a lifetime few hundred nanoseconds. processes that control the dynamics related design considerations for efficient operation discussed.
