Easy to realize recipes are given to modify a conventional low pressur
e longitudinally excited e-switched CO2 laser by pulsing the electrica
l discharge. An increase of the peak power of strong laser lines up to
a factor of 6 is obtained, as well as laser emission on a considerabl
y larger number of vib-rot transitions. (C) 1997 American Institute of
