Abstract

The CO-CO₂ laser, operating at laser transitions belonging to both CO and CO₂ molecule spectra, are described. The multiple alternate changes of spectrum regions have been obtained due to chemical transformations of CO₂ molecules to CO and vice versa. The transformations of radiating molecules are provided by volume and surface plasma-chemical reactions of CO and CO₂ molecules with oxygen and carbon respectively. The device needs no low temperature cooling or flowing facilities. Also, both laser wavelength regions can be realized simultaneously.
