Abstract

We report relative vibrational population distributions calculated from the intensity distribution of the side-light spontaneous emission from RF excited CO laser discharges operating sealed-off with coolant at near ambient temperatures. The influences of xenon on CO₂ formation and the CO partial inversion have been investigated and the calculated population ratios have been used to explain the intervibrational level variation of the observed laser transitions.
