Abstract The gasdynamic CS2 laser is investigated theoretically and experimentally. It is theoretically demonstrated that the efficiency of the gasdynamic lasers can be increased by using molecules with lower-lying laser and pumping levels than in the case of C02 or N20 gasdynamic layers. Calculations show that under gasdynamic laser conditions, inversion should set in for an entire series of CS2 molecular transitions in the range 11.4–117 μm. Lasing with wavelength 11.4 μm was obtained in experiment on the (0001)-(1000) transition.
