This paper reports the results from a study of a FM mode-locked CW RF-excited CO{sub 2} waveguide laser operated at 0.25-2 atm gas pressures. The experimental pulses of a few hundred ps FWHM are considerably shorter than previously reported for CW mode-locked CO{sub 2} lasers. The experimental results are compared with the results of numerical calculations using a frequency domain simulation model.
