Abstract
The rate of relaxation of excess population in the lower laser level, CO2 (100), has been measured by an electrical perturbation method. Gases studied included: CO2, CO2/Xe, CO2/H2O, CO2/He, and CO2/N2. In all cases, the measured rates of relaxation of CO2 (100) differ markedly from the accepted rates of relaxation of CO2 (010). The difference indicates that the levels (100) and (010) are not strongly coupled.Keywords
