CF/sub 4/ laser

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5377099
A CF/sub 4/ laser is presented for producing near 16 ..mu..m radiation utilizing a line tunable CO/sub 2/ laser as an optical pumping source. The device uses a cryogenically cooled optically pumped cell containing molecular CF/sub 4/ gas. An optical resonant cavity formed around the optically pumped cell induces oscillations of near 16 ..mu..m radiation from the ..nu../sub 2/ + ..nu../sub 4/ ..-->.. ..nu../sub 2/ transition in the molecular CF/sub 4/ gas. 8 claims.
