摘要：
A frequency sweeping (chirping) mechanism governed by the lasing gas pressure and composition has been observed in a long-pulse TE CO2 laser for the first time. The mechanism was detected in heterodyned data obtained from photomixing the pulsed laser output with a cw local oscillator. A theory has been developed which links this chirp-governing mechanism to the vibration-translation (V-T) transfer rate from the lower laser level to the ground state. This new theory extends the existing theories on chirp in pulsed CO2 lasers into the long-pulse regime.
