Pressure shift in the 170-µm emission of the cw optically pumped CH3OH laser
Abstract
Pressure shifts of +15 MHz torr were observed in 16(8)-16(7) 170-micron CW CH3OH optically pumped laser emission. The experiments were performed using a harmonic mixing technique in a Schottky diode. The results are explained in terms of a second-order dipole-dipole interaction in a statistical formulation.
