Quantum mechanical features of optically pumped CW FIR lasers. [CH/sub 3/OH]

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)
Quantum mechanical predictions for the gain of an optically pumped cw FIR laser are presented for cases in which one or both of the pump and FIR transitions are pressure or Doppler broadened. The results are compared to those based on the rage equation model. Some of the quantum mechanical predictions are verified in CH/sub 3/OH.
