Calculations have demonstrated the possible establishment of a population inversion due to the 040--00/sup 0/1 and 050--00/sup 0/1 vibrational transitions in the N/sub 2/O molecule behind a shock wavefront propagating through a mixture of N/sub 2/O, N/sub 2/, and He gases. The absolute values of the inversion attain approx.10/sup 15/ cm/sup -3/ although its zone of existence is generally narrower than one centimeter. A rough estimate of the gain due to these transitions yields (1--4) x 10/sup -2/ m/sup -1/.
