Synchronized dual-wavelength single-mode emission from a TEA CO_2 laser

Abstract
Simultaneous single-mode emission at two wavelengths, independently tunable over various rotational lines of the 9- and 10-μm bands, has been obtained from a dual-cavity hybrid CO2 laser. An attractive feature of this system is the accomplishment of good temporal overlap of the two emissions by straightforward adjustment of low-pressure section parameters.
