Abstract
Some of the fundamental parameters associated with the CF4 optically pumped laser were measured with the aid of an oscillator–amplifier arrangement. The small signal gain for the strongest P-branch line was determined for pure CF4 and for CF4 in the presence of He and CO buffer gases at different pressures. The self-absorption of the laser radiation by CF4 was determined for various P-, Q-, and R-branch lines at several temperatures. The data were used to determine that the loss mechanism for the laser process is associated with hot-band absorption from the 1 ν2 level.
