The CO2 laser has been the subject of a number of very accurate frequency measurements. Most of the earlier measurements are given by Bradley et al. (Ref. 1). That analysis was based on a single absolute frequency measurement and many laser frequency differences. Subsequent measurements of the methane frequency (Refs. 2-4) made it necessary to slightly revise that single absolute frequency measurement. In addition, there have been several other absolute frequency measurements (Refs. 5-7) that have been used here to improve the accuracy of the present tables. Additional frequency difference measurements have also been added to the database used for the present tables (Ref. 8).
