Resonance self−absorption in CO lasers

Abstract
Resonance self−absorption from overlapping lines in a CO laser medium may be an important pressure−dependent mechanism for theoretical analysis, with possible impact on line selection and atmospheric propagation. Certain presently unexplained discrepancies relating to transient time scale, spectral anomalies, efficiency degradation, and sensitivity to temperature might all be consistently resolved by this hypothesis.
