title: Short-pulse CO(2) laser for photochemical studies.
abstract: A line-tunable CO(2) laser system is described producing repeatable pulses with selectable widths from 2 to 60 nsec. High energy contrast ratio (minimum of 10) is achieved in both the P and R branches of the 9- and 10-microm bands making this system a valuable source for photochemical studies.
