New FIR laser lines from an optically pumped far-infrared laser with isotopic ¹³C¹⁶O₂ pumping

A ¹³C¹⁶O₂ laser optically pumping a FIR laser has resulted in 17 new FIR cw emissions from 78.5 µm to 917 µm. The FIR media were: CD₃OD, CH₃OD, CD₃OH, NH₃ and ¹⁵NH₃. Interesting effects have been observed with a combination of NH₃ and CD₃OD resulting in a new FIR emission. Two new FIR emissions at 181.5 µm and 355.5 µm have been observed with a ¹²C¹⁶O₂ laser optically pumping CD₃OD. © 1981.
