ABSTRACT:
A gas laser having a bandwidth which substantially exceeds the normal doppler bandwidth. To this end the lasing beam is made to propagate at an angle to the direction of flow of the stream of lasing gases. The gases should move at a supersonic speed so that the normal doppler bandwidth of the laser is shifted up or down in frequency by a predetermined amount. By utilizing two or more gas flows at different angles to each other, the normal amplification band of the laser medium can be shifted up and down in frequency by different amounts to obtain an overall bandwidth on the order of 1 - 2 gigahertz (ghz).
