Abstract
A sealed‐off cw waveguide CO2 laser has been continuously tuned over 1.2 GHz on a single transition at 10.6 μm. The laser consists of a 9.5 cm×1.0 mm square discharge tube fabricated from polished BeO slabs. Line selection is achieved with a diffraction grating and tuning is accomplished by piezoelectric control of the resonator length.Keywords
