Frequency tuning and efficiency enhancement of high-power far-infrared lasers
Abstract
The present investigation of the physics underlying optically pumped, high power far-IR lasers emphasizes the theory and experimental development of frequency-tunable lasers of this type, and possible methods for enhancement of their efficiency. Attention is given to Raman transitions and double Raman processes, AC Stark shifts, the general tuning theory for symmetric top molecules, lasers of the CO2-pump and waveguide type, multiphoton emission in symmetric top molecules, and the density matrix analysis of two-photon emission.
