Abstract
The atomic-oxygen laser oscillates at four closely spaced frequencies on the gain profile of the 8446-Å fine-structure transitions. A set of experiments is reported which studies the competition among these four lines by suppressing one of them. The results are explained on the basis of the interaction of laser lines oscillating on Doppler-broadened transitions sharing a common lower level.
