Abstract: A description is given of a method for the stabilization of the output frequency of a CO₂ laser based on the simultaneous excitation of several rotational transitions. A report is given of an experimental investigation of the behavior of simultaneously generated lines under competitive and normal conditions. A discrimination curve is obtained.
