Infrared chemiluminescence attributed to the first overtone of CO was observed when either C2H2 or was introduced into a stream of oxygen which had been passed through a microwave discharge. The addition of vibrationally cold CO to these systems was found to produce a vibrational population inversion in the chemically formed CO. CO first overtone emission was not observed when CH4 was introduced into a similar stream of oxygen unless the CH4 had been subjected to a microwave discharge. These observations are used to clarify the mechanisms governing the formation of CO in continuous wave air–helium–hydrocarbon electrical discharge lasers.
