Summary:PURPOSE:To increase generated laser beams and to separate isotopes from UF6, etc., by using gaseous CO2 contg. C, C, O, O and O in large quantities as the laser medium of TEA-CO2 laser and by regulating the pressure of the laser gas to 1-5 atm. CONSTITUTION:When parahydrogen Raman laser is oscillated with TEA laser as an exciting light source and isotopes are separated from a heavy metal compd. such as uranium hexafluoride by selective excitation with laser light from the Raman laser, gaseous CO2 contg. isotopes of carbon (C) and oxygen (O) is used as the medium of the TEA laser. The TEA laser is regenerated with a gas regenerator, C, C, O, O and O as isotopes of C and O are incorporated and the pressure of the gaseous medium is regulated to 1-5atm. Generated laser beams are considerably increased and wavelengths can be made nearly continuously variable in a wavelength region required to separate isotopes from UF6.
