Abstract

Single picosecond laser pulses in the second positive band of nitrogen are observed from high‐pressure gas discharges with traveling‐wave excitation. The gas discharge is operated in pure nitrogen and without preionization. The pulse duration decreases from 300 psec at 1 atm to 50 psec at 6 atm.
