Gain saturation for the 10.6 μ transition of CO2 has been measured in a single-pass configuration and the saturation flux found to be (22±2) W/cm2. Knowledge of the saturation flux and the inversion production rate provides an estimate of 3 × 10-18 cm2 for the stimulated emission cross section of the transition.
