Lasing was observed for the first time in a quasi-cw electric-discharge gasdynamic laser in the spectral range 16.3--16.9 ..mu... The lasing was due to transitions between coupled-mode levels of carbon dioxide gas and it was observed on excitation of CO/sub 2/--Ar (Ne,Xe) mixtures by a glow discharge.
