Low-Threshold, CW Submillimeter and Millimeter Wave Laser Action in CO2 Laser-Pumped C2H4F2, C2H2F2, and CH3OH.

Abstract

CW laser action between 40.7 micrometers and 1.02 mm is described in 1, 1 difluoroethane, 1, 1 difluoroethylene, and methyl alcohol optically pumped by a CO2 laser. Far infrared radiation (FIR) laser threshold was achieved for CO2 pump powers of typically 1 to 2 watts, and FIR laser output powers of several milliwatts were observed on the stronger lines.
