Abstract
Enhancement of the single line output power of a tunable cw CO laser is described. With the methods of fast flow and better precooling, the specific output power of line 9-8P (14) reaches 9.16 W m-1, which is almost twice the best reported value. The consumption of working gas is greatly reduced by combining fast recirculation with slow exchange. © 1994.
