Abstract

A resonant reflector made of germanium is reported which allows selection of one single rotational line out of a TEA CO₂ laser. The reflector has to be temperature stabilized within ± 0.1 °C. Selection of one, two or three rotational lines simultaneously is possible by varying the temperature.
