<p>Method and apparatus for inducing laser action in CO2 at a wavelength of 16 microns involving the transition between the 02.degree.0 and 0110 states. The population inversion between these two states is achieved by pumping to the 00.degree.1 level, suppressing the usual 10.6 micron transition to the 10.degree.0 level and encouraging the 9.6 micron transition, thereby populating the 02.degree.0 level, as the principal prerequisite for 16 micron laser action between the 02.degree.0 and 0110 levels.</p> |
