Abstract
The availability of Stark tunable molecular absorption lines coincident with CO2 laser transitions has led to several applications in laser communications. Three applications are described here: (1) frequency stabilization of a CO2 laser; (2) a technique for direct demodulation of an optical FM signal; and (3) a method for producing single sideband ir modulation at microwave frequencies.
