heal.abstract	Quasi-simultaneous laser action in the UV (0.337 mum) and the IR (10.6 mum) was observed from a pulsed laser with a sliding discharge plasma cathode. The laser operates at atmospheric pressure, with a gas mixture of CO2/N-2/He. at a 0.26/0.50/4.01 min(-1) flow rate. Output energies of 30 mJ in the IR and 0.35 mJ in the UV were obtained, from a laser discharge volume of 38.0 x 1.0 x 2.8 cm(3). The optimum gas mixtures have been determined and the temporal behavior of the discharge parameters, the performance characteristics of the laser and the beam spatial distributions were investigated.
