Abstract: An investigation was made of temperature tuning of modes emitted from pulse lead-tin chalcogenide lasers. Estimates were obtained of the resolution attainable in such pulse lasers in the case when the mode tuning was due to the time dependence of the temperature of a diode during a current pulse. Potential applications of such laser diodes in spectroscopy are indicated.
