Abstract

Simultaneous single-mode emission at two wavelengths, independently tunable over various rotational lines of the 9- and 10-μm bands, has been obtained from a dual-cavity hybrid CO₂ laser. An attractive feature of this system is the accomplishment of good temporal overlap of the two emissions by straightforward adjustment of low-pressure section parameters.
