Abstract
Laser emission from a He‐air‐CH4 mixture has been observed from 4.9668 to 5.5056μ. Most of the cw laser emissions have been identified to result from P(J) vibrational‐rotational transitions in CO. Multiline power levels of over 1 W were achieved with the CH4 mixture. The lasing molecules are apparently formed by chemical‐collisional processes within the discharge. Similar cw laser emissions from 4.9467 to 5.5717μ were observed from a He‐air‐C3H8 mixture.Keywords
