Optically pumped far-infrared lasers
Abstract
A handbook of far-infrared (submillimeter) laser technology is presented. Among the specific laser systems described are: 12CH3F and 13CH3F lasers; submillimeter lasers in dueuterated methyl fluoride CD3F; and far-infrared laser lines obtained by optical pumping. Consideration is given to other far-infrared laser media, including: methyl iodide; CH3OH; D2O; and fluorocarbon 12, CF2C12. Additional topics discussed include: an optically pumped PH3 laser operating in the region 83-223 microns; an optically pumped formic acid laser; and optically pumped infrared lasing in propyne.
