Blackbody radiation-pumped CO/sub 2/ laser experiment

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6262586
; ;
Thermal radiation from a high temperature oven was used as an optical pump to achieve lasing from CO/sub 2/ mixtures. Laser output as a function of blackbody temperature and gas conditions is described. This achievement represents the first blackbody cavity pumped laser and has potential for solar pumping.
