The dynamic behavior of a CO2laser containing SF6as a saturable absorber was experimentally investigated using fast sweeps of the discharge current running through the laser. This system exhibits a dynamic broadening of the bistable region and a stabilization of the lasing and nonlasing states due to sweep dependent effects. The situation in which passiveQ-switching can occur is also investigated. The experimental results are compared with those provided by computer simulations using the two "effective levels" of the LSA previously developed by Arimondo et al.
