Description

We have demonstrated continuous tunability of a high-pressure molecular gas laser over portions of the 9--12.5-μm spectral range. The laser employs electron-beam-controlled multiatmosphere discharges in He : N2 : CO2, He : CO : N2O, or He : CO : CS2. The high-pressure CS2 laser is continuously tunable in the 12.1-μm region which is relevant for laser separation of uranium isotopes
