Abstract
Laser action has been observed at 11.5 and 12.2 μm in electron-beam-stabilized electric discharges using He/CO/CS2 and He/N2/CS2 gas mixtures. Laser operation at 1 atm pressure was possible using He/CO/CS2 mixtures. Laser assignments, aided by the use of 13C-enriched samples, indicate that the 001 to 100 and 0111 to 1110 transitions of CS2 both contribute to the lines observed. Line coincidences, which are very likely for several bands of CS2, may be the cause of the anomalous laser intensity distribution among the rotational states observed at low pressures.
