Abstract
The stability of simultaneous oscillation on several lines in a cw CO laser with a multichannel cavity was studied for different combination s of rotational-vibrational lines. The field mechanism approach was ap plied for explanation of the peculiarities of laser oscillation. The c riteria for selection of the optimal lines for stable multiline oscill ation were determined. Based on these investigations a stabilized thre e-color CO laser was developed and utilized for nondestructive testing of the quality of industrial silicon ingots.
