Abstract
We report the recent progress in the performance of the CO-overtone Δv=2 laser. We were able to increase both the number of lines and the output power by a significant amount. This laser is now a reliable source for spectroscopic applications in the spectral region from 2500–3800 cm−1. The typical parameters of the laser plasma and a table with the observed laser transitions and their frequencies are given.
