The chemical oxygen iodine laser in the presence of a magnetic field. II. Frequency tuning behavior

For pt.I, see ibid., vol.29, no.3, p.933-43 (1993). Results are presented from an experimental/theoretical investigation of the frequency shifting and tuning behavior of a chemical oxygen-iodine laser in the presence of an applied magnetic field. Frequency shifting measurements are presented for both P and S polarization over a range of magnetic field strength from 0 to 3000 G, in a pressure regime (3 torr) where the line shape is Doppler broadened. Theoretical predictions of the location and magnitude of the frequency shifts are shown to be in good agreement with both the present measurements and a previous investigation in the pressure broadened regime.<
