Frequency Tunable Laser Sources.

Abstract

This annual report summarizes research done on (a) the study of guided waves in dielectric waveguides in the far IR along with prism and grating couplers, (b) the exploratory study of tunable laser signals in the far IR via collisionally broadened gain curves, (c) the development of inexpensive (approximately 1K$) IR lasers for optical pumping of molecules and (d) the study of tunable IR signals via coherent scattering from polariton modes in semiconductor crystals.
