The first report is given of the realization of a TEA CO/sub 2/ laser operating regime in which the emission spectrum contains simultaneously two frequencies belonging to lines of the 00/sup 0/1--(10/sup 0/0, 02/sup 0/0)/sub i/,II and 00/sup 0/2--(10/sup 0/1, 02/sup 0/1)/sub i/,II bands separated from each other by 0.2--0.6 cm/sup -1/. It was found that the use of partial-bleaching selective losses was a suitable method for realizing this regime. Radiation having these spectral characteristics can be applied to solve a number of problems involving selective interaction with matter and laser monitoring of the atmosphere.
