Optoacoustic Spectroscopy.

Abstract

The objective of this program is to develop improved spectroscopic methods for investigating the absorption of gases in the infrared region of the spectrum. During the contract year covered by this report, we were successful in achieving tunable output from a dye laser pumped by a lead laser, with power levels sufficient to produce tunable infrared radiation by nonlinear mixing.
