Abstract
One P‐branch line, tentatively identified as P18 or P20, of the 00°1 → 10°0 transition of CO2 has been passively Q switched, using vinyl chloride as the saturable absorber. Average power is roughly the same as that obtained using pure SF6 for Q switching. The observed pulse width is about 2 μsec and the time between pulses is about 20 μsec.Keywords
