Abstract
Self‐locking of longitudinal cavity modes has been observed in a CO2–N2–He laser with an SF6 absorber inside the cavity. Pulses as short as 20 nsec, with peak power in the range 104–105W, have been obtained. Pulse trains longer than 100 μsec have been observed. Operation is repetitive at millisecond intervals.Keywords
