Abstract
Direct nuclear pumping of a low-temperature (≊150 K) 3He-CO laser has been achieved using the volumetric 3He(n,p) 3H nuclear reaction. Lasing occurred on the vibrational bands of CO at ≊5 μ. Effects of N2 on the system were investigated, as well as scaling of laser output with CO concentration, thermal neutron flux, and total pressure. This is the first volume-pumped, nuclear powered CO laser.
