Rc. Viscovini et al., (CD3OD)-C-13 OPTICALLY PUMPED BY A WAVE-GUIDE CO2-LASER - NEW FIR LASER LINES, IEEE journal of quantum electronics, 33(6), 1997, pp. 916-918
A waveguide CO2 laser of wide tunability was used to pump infrared tra
nsitions of the (CD3OD)-C-13 C-O stretching vibrational mode. The opto
acoustic signal associated with the absorbing transitions served as a
guide to search for new laser lines. We could observe 36 new far-infra
red laser lines ranging from 57 to 1192 mu m. All lines were character
ized in wavelength, relative polarization, intensity, optimum pressure
of operation, and precise offset measurements.
