Investigation of the energy and spectral characteristics of a cw industrial electron-beam-controlled laser using isotopically modified carbon dioxide

Experimental and theoretical investigations were made of the operation of a cw continuous-flow electron-beam-controlled laser using a binary mixture of naturally occurring and isotopically modified carbon dioxide molecules. The replacement of ¹²C¹⁶O₂ with ¹³C¹⁶O₂ made it possible to alter the emission frequency without a significant loss in the output power and laser efficiency.
