Submillimeter-wave laser emission in carbonyl fluoride
Abstract
Submillimeter-wave laser action is reported in carbonyl fluoride for the first time. A total of 12 lines in the wavelength range from 379 to 1900 microns was observed when COF2 was pumped by various CO2 lines in the R and P branches of the 10-micron band. The two new strong lines at 700 and 1135 microns are especially notable since there are no previously known laser lines at these frequencies sufficiently strong for local oscillator applications.
