New CH3OH laser lines pumped with a fine-tuned high-power CO2-TEA laser
Abstract
Joule-level pulses from an etalon tuned CO2-TEA laser with an ∼ 4GHz intraline tuning range have been used to pump a large number of new CH3OH FIR laser lines. FIR wavelength measurements, pump laser offsets which produced FIR laser lines and pump laser offsets at which CH3OH absorption lines were observed are reported. Identifications are proposed for most of the absorption lines, and an attempt to identify the FIR laser lines is described.
