MICROWAVE AND OPTICAL MASERS FOR MM WAVES.

Abstract

Instrumenatation for the study of possible far-infrared (5 microns - 1000 microns) coherent radiation generators was continued. The vacuum housing of a Michelson far-infrared interferometer is near completion. The construction of far-infrared gas maser cells was completed, and maser action was observed in rf-excited xenonhelium mixtures at 3.36, 3.51, and 3.68 microns. Initial experiments were carried out to observe optically pumped microwave maser operation between Zeeman levels of the CaF sub 2: Dy (+2) system. (Author)
