Trifluoromethyl iodide, CF{sub 3}I, has been shown to be an efficient optical filter for TEA CO{sub 2} laser pumped several mid IR molecular lasers. Its absorption characteristics and effectiveness of filtering capacity were examined using a pump TEA CO{sub 2} laser and a 12.08-{mu}m NH{sub 3} laser.
