MICROWAVE AND OPTICAL MASERS FOR MM WAVES

Abstract

A partial account is given of the instrumentation required the study of optical properties of possible far infrared (5 to 1000 microns) coherent radiation generators. The operation of a laboratory-built Michaelson interferometer is described together with a Perkin-Elmer No. 301 spectrometer and the associated cryogenic equipment. Preliminary study of the lattice absorption spectrum of CaWO4, CaMoO4 and PbMoO4 is presented. A possible 5 micron optical maser transition in the CaWO4:Nd(3) system is evaluated.
