Abstract
A large number of Stark-tuned molecular absorptions have been investigated as possible references for Stark stabilisation of waveguide CO2 lasers. A set of potentially useful absorptions have been selected and transition tuning rates, absorption coefficients, and electrical breakdown characteristics have been measured for a number of these. A discussion of the optimisation of a Stark stabilisation system is given. Predictions of absorptions that will be useful in stabilising isotopic lasers are also reported.Keywords
