Optical free induction decay (OFID) effect in Dymel gas mixtures

Narrow bursts of laser pulses have many applications. OFID is one of the techniques used to shorten the pulsewidth of a CO2 laser after it passes through a gas such as Dymel. Present work is an extension of earlier studies in Dymel gas. Controlled mixtures of Dymel with Helium, Argon, and Nitrogen gas affect the original OFID effect in pure Dymel gas in different ways.
