CW and Transient Multiresonant Studies in the Near Millimeter Wave Spectrum.
Abstract
Several complimentary techniques have been used to study and develop gas phase quantum electronic systems in the near millimeter wave region of the spectrum. These techniques include cw transient and multiresonant experiments on optically pumped far-infrared lasers. In addition, modeling of our recently developed ultra-small lasers has demonstrated the importance of a previously ignored energy transfer mechanism. This mechanism is the vibrational-vibration excitation of other excited vibrational states and it allows lasing at significantly higher pressures and small cell diameters than was previously assumed to be possible. Keywords include: Near millimeter spectrum, far-infrared lasers, cw and transient multiresonance, and molecular energy transfer.
