An in-cavity hot /sup 13/C /sup 16/O/sub 2/ cell is used to obtain a 4.4-..mu..m lasing from a cascade process in a sealed off /sup 13/C /sup 16/O/sub 2/ laser. The 4.4-..mu..m laser is tunable and operates on the P branch (near 4.44 ..mu..m) and the R branch (near 4.39 ..mu..m) of the ((10/sup 0/1)/sub I/--(10/sup 0/0)/sub I/) band of /sup 13/C /sup 16/O/sub 2/. The laser is mechanically Q switched producing peak powers in excess of 10 W with repetition rates greater than 500 Hz.
