Previously, it has been shown that a CO laser based on a carbon disulfide flame can emit radiation if air is used as the oxidant instead of oxygen. The results of further experiments with this type of laser are presented; they were made to examine the possibility of improving the performance by increasing the length of the active medium up to 300 cm and by optimizing the composition of the active medium and the pressure in the resonator. Since it has been frequently reported that the addition of N/sub 2/O increased the power of a carbon disulfide laser, a more detailed study of the effect on the laser radiation of adding N/sub 2/O to a CS/sub 2/-air mixture has been undertaken.
